An electric power tool includes a motor, a spindle, a first vibration cam, a housing, a second vibration cam, a vibration switching member, and a plurality of biasing members. The spindle is rotatable by the motor. The first vibration cam is fixed to the spindle. The first vibration cam is located inward of the housing. The second vibration cam is located inward of the housing. The second vibration cam is configured to be in friction with the first vibration cam. The vibration switching member switches between a rotatable condition and an unrotatable condition of the second vibration cam with respect to the housing. The plurality of biasing members bias the vibration switching member.

A work tool includes a motor, a driving mechanism, a body housing and a handle. The driving mechanism is configured to perform an operation of linearly reciprocating the tool accessory along a driving axis extending in a front-rear direction. The handle includes a grip part extending substantially in an up-down direction, and a battery-mounting part provided on a lower side of the grip part. An upper end portion of the handle is connected to a rear end portion of the body housing via an elastic member so as to be movable relative to the body housing. A lower end portion of the handle is connected to the rear end portion of the body housing so as to be rotatable relative to the body housing, around a rotation axis extending in a left-right direction. The rotation axis is located on a lower side of the battery-mounting part.

A rotary power tool comprises a drive mechanism including an electric motor and a transmission, a housing enclosing at least a portion of the drive mechanism, a spindle rotatable in response to receiving torque from the drive mechanism, a first ratchet coupled for co-rotation with the spindle, a second ratchet rotationally fixed to the housing, a sleeve bushing on an interior of the housing, and a bearing arranged between the spindle and the sleeve bushing and rotatably supporting the spindle. The bearing has an outer race. The spindle is movable relative to the housing in response to contact with a workpiece, causing the first and second ratchets to engage and the spindle to reciprocate while rotating. The outer race of the bearing moves along the sleeve bushing during reciprocation of the spindle when the first ratchet and second ratchet are engaged.

The disclosure relates to a switching device for a hammer drill, having a manually actuatable switching element. It is proposed that the switching element is designed for actuating an operational mode switching unit and a switching unit for changing the direction of rotation.

A control method for a borehole flushing module (2) for a chiseling tool (5), includes the steps: Providing fine-grain particles in a dispenser (31); ascertaining a material (M) at a location processed by the tool (5) with the aid of a material detector (37); and introducing fine-grain particles at the location of the substrate processed by the tool (5) when the material detector (37) ascertains an iron-containing material (M2).

Kickback control methods for power tools. One power tool includes a movement sensor configured to measure an angular velocity of the housing of the power tool, and an orientation sensor configured to measure an orientation of the housing. The power tool includes an electronic processor coupled to a switching network and a trigger. To implement the kickback control, the electronic processor is configured to receive measurements of the angular velocity of the housing, receive measurements of the orientation of the housing, determine a binding condition of the power tool based on the measurements of the angular velocity and the measurements of orientation, and control the switching network to cease driving of the brushless DC motor.

The disclosure relates to a machine tool, in particular a hand-held machine tool, comprising a housing and an electronics module, wherein the electronics module has a position-determining unit and a communications unit, wherein the electronics module can be supplied with energy via an at least partially independently formed energy unit. According to the disclosure, the electronics module is accommodated in an electronics housing, wherein the electronics housing is coupled to the housing of the machine tool.

A hand-held power tool having a motor-driven impact mechanism and monostable operating button. A locking switch for the monostable operating button has a sliding direction, an actuating knob, a catch and a sliding block, wherein the actuating knob is able to be moved by the user in the sliding direction from a releasing position to a locking position. The catch is pivotable in a pivoting direction perpendicular to the switching direction between a first position and a second position. The catch is disengaged from the operating button 6 in the first position and the catch engages in the operating button in the second position, arresting the operating button in the pressed position. The catch has, on a side facing in the pivoting direction, a slotted-guide face that is inclined with respect to the sliding direction. The sliding block bears on the slotted-guide face.

A handheld power tool (1) is provided, including a tool holder (2) for receiving and locking a tool (3) on a working axis (4), and including a power tool housing (6). A striking mechanism (8) includes a striker (10) for applying impacts in the impact direction (9) and an anvil (11) for absorbing the impacts and for transmitting the impacts in the impact direction (9) onto the tool (3) accommodated in the tool holder (2). A collar (18) is fastened to the power tool housing (6) and to the anvil (11). When the anvil (11) abuts a rebound impact damper (13) in the impact direction (9), the elastic collar (18) applies a force acting in the impact direction (9) onto the anvil (11).

Kickback control methods for power tools. One power tool includes a movement sensor configured to measure an angular velocity of the housing of the power tool about the rotational axis. The power tool includes an electronic processor coupled to the switching network and the movement sensor and configured to implement kickback control of the power tool. To implement the kickback control, the electronic processor is configured to control the switching network to drive the brushless DC motor, receive measurements of the angular velocity of the housing of the power tool from the movement sensor, determine that a plurality of the measurements of the angular velocity of the housing of the power tool exceed a rotation speed threshold, and control the switching network to cease driving of the brushless DC motor in response to determining that the plurality of the measurements of the angular velocity exceed the rotation speed threshold.
