A dust shroud having a shroud body with a vacuum port and a tool connection, the shroud body including a top wall and at least one side wall extending downwardly from about a perimeter of the top wall that defines a dust receiving opening, the shroud body having a top wall opening and the tool connection including a flexible fitting with a flexible fitting base joined to the top wall and extending within the top wall opening, the flexible fitting including a plurality of flexible fingers with a base finger portion and an outer finger portion that extends away from top wall and is selectively with a mounting point of the hand held tool and the flexible fingers allowing selective controlled relative movement between the dust shroud and the hand held tool, the fingers having a finger spacing between adjacent flexible fingers and the outwardly extending flexible fingers having a finger length between the top wall and the distal finger end that is greater than 0.75 inches allowing for selective adjustment and relative movement between the dust shroud and the associated hand held grinder.

A power tool having a disk-shaped tool and a guard plate in order to protect the power tool from flying sparks. The guard plate here has devices for supporting a secure standing position of the power tool, wherein the devices include an elastic material and can be preassembled on tabs of the guard plate. An assembly and a method for rapidly mounting a guard plate and devices for supporting a secure standing position of a power tool on a power tool is also provided.

A drum sander having a fin for deflecting airflow around the drum and directing dust and debris to a dust collecting outlet. The fin includes a first section at a first angle and a second section at a second angle that directs air movement generated by the operating drum toward the dust collecting outlet. The free edge of the fin is shaped to wrap partially around the drum in two helical inclined planes. A tool free adjustment of parallelism may be provided. The workpieces are pulled through the sander rather than being pushed through. Lightweight materials reduce stress on the assembly. Heat is dissipated by the configuration and material of the drum.

A suction hood for a power tool, which includes a rotating tool, in particular a grinding or cutting tool, for collecting and removing dust generated during the use of the power tool, a first side wall having a first recess, a second side wall having a second recess, and a suction channel connected to the first and second side walls. The diameter of the first recess is greater than the diameter of a flange of the power tool, so that the first recess is positionable around the flange. The diameter of the second recess is greater than the diameter of a clamping element, which is used to detachably fasten the tool on a spindle of the power tool, so that the clamping element may be accommodated in the second recess. The first and second side walls are positioned at a distance from each other which is shorter than the length of the spindle.

A dust hood (100), including a flange (90) for fastening the dust hood (100) to a transmission extension housing (210) of an angle grinder (200), and including a hood body (10) for covering a circular cutting wheel (220) on both sides, at least in sections, and including a suction connecting piece (40) for connecting a suction hose (400), via which removed substrate material (UG) may be extracted from the hood body (10), the dust hood (100) including a sensor unit (20), with the aid of which it is possible to detect whether the suction hose (20) is connected to the suction connecting piece (40) and/or whether a flap (45) of the suction connecting piece (40) is open.

An angle grinder dust collection shroud includes mounting brackets which are attached to a shroud body via slots which allow the mounting brackets to move to different circumferential locations around the output shaft of the angle grinder as well and inwardly towards and outwardly away from the output shaft of the angle grinder. The mounting brackets are adjustable in their position around the angle grinder output shaft to allow them to engage the angle grinder while avoiding any mounting features for the angle grinder's stock blade guard.

A protective device for a hand-held power tool, in particular an angle grinder, includes a machine housing, a protective hood, and a securing element. The machine housing has a flange neck that surrounds an output shaft that defines an output axis. The protective hood has a protective hood collar. The securing element is formed as a securing ring that is configured, in at least one operating state, to prevent the protective hood from twisting relative to the machine housing. The machine housing is configured to be detachably connected to one or more of the protective hood and the securing element. The securing ring has a thread, in particular an internal thread, which in at least one connection state is configured to movably mount and hold the protective hood in an axial direction of the output axis relative to the flange neck.

A portable power tool having a plate tool (30), in particular a sanding plate or polishing plate, and a drive motor, arranged in a machine housing, for driving the plate tool into an oscillating and/or rotating and/or eccentric movement of a machining surface of the plate tool, wherein the portable power tool is able to be guided with the machining surface in a main working direction forwards and to the side transversely to the main working direction in at least one transverse working direction in order to sand or polish a workpiece surface, wherein the portable power tool has a covering device for the plate tool, said covering device having at least one protective wall which is disposed upstream of at least one lateral surface, extending next to the machining surface, of the plate tool with regard to the main working direction and/or the transverse working direction in order to protect against contact with obstacles.
