Lever neutrality is determined by whether or not operation levers are at a neutral position based on operation signals from operation levers. Pilot pressures are computed based on the operation signals from the operation levers; and pilot pressure signals are converted to current signals. A current interruption controller controls interruption and communication of the current signals to the solenoid proportional valves; and an operating condition is determined by determining whether a construction machine is in a manual operation state or a semiautomatic operation state. At least one hydraulic actuator is controlled to assist the operation of the operator, and when it is determined that the construction machine is in the semiautomatic operation state, the current interruption controller interrupts the current signals to all of the solenoid proportional valves only when it is determined that all the operation levers are at the neutral position.
