A work tool includes: a motor; a housing including a gripping part; an electronic switch; a controller controlling the motor based on a signal from the switch; an operating part provided at the gripping part; and an intervening part movably intervened between the operating part and the switch. The switch is provided at the housing at a first position in an axial direction of the gripping part, and is switchable between an ON position for driving the motor and an OFF position for stopping the motor. A direction connecting the ON position and the OFF position to each other is a crossing direction crossing the axial direction. The operating part is movable in the crossing direction to drive and stop the motor. The intervening part transmits movement to the switch by a moving amount smaller than movement in the crossing direction of the operating part passing through the first position.

A grinder including a motor, a switch operated ON and OFF in accordance with an operation of a switch lever to control a rotation of an output shaft of the motor, a spindle that rotates in accordance with the rotation of the output shaft to rotate a disk-shaped grinding wheel and a brake mechanism controllable with respect to a brake plate that integrally rotates with the output shaft, in a housing, the brake plate includes fins.

The disclosure discloses an electric power tool. The electric power tool may include a motor, a power transmission mechanism connected to the motor, a housing that houses the motor and the power transmission mechanism, an end tool holder to which an end tool is configured to be attached and from which the end tool is configured to be detached, and connected to the power transmission mechanism, and a handle attached to the housing. The electric power tool may be configured to prohibit rotation of the motor when a user is not gripping the handle.

An electric power tool having a rotating tool. The electric tool is characterized in that a direction of rotation of the tool on the electric power tool can be set in dependence on an operating state of the electric power tool. The automatic settability of the direction of rotation of the electric tool is associated with the advantage that no gearbox for changing the direction of rotation, as in an internal combustion engine, is required. In addition, the user-friendliness of the electric power tool for the user can be significantly improved, since the user practically no longer has to worry about setting a “correct” direction of rotation of the tool. In a further aspect, the invention relates to a method for operating an electric power tool having a rotating tool, wherein the direction of rotation of the tool on the electric power tool is set in particular in dependence on whether or not a suction device is connected to the electric power tool.

Disclosed is an angle grinder. An operation body is configured to control the polishing of an action head end, one end of a head housing is detachably connected to the operation body, the other end of the head housing is detachably connected to a front cover. One end of a rotor shaft extends out of the head housing and the front cover; a bearing is sleeved on the periphery of the rotor shaft; the front cover is located on the periphery of the bearing; and an installation stopper can be detachably installed on the rotor shaft and can rotate synchronously with the rotor shaft. One side of the bearing is in contact with the shoulder of the rotor shaft, and the other side of the bearing is contact with the installation stopper. The bearing can be clamped by the installation stopper and the shoulder of the rotor shaft.

A machine tool, in particular a hand-held machine tool, is disclosed. The machine tool includes at least one housing unit and at least one drive unit arranged within the housing unit. The machine tool further includes at least one separator unit which is provided to divide at least one fluid flow directed through the housing unit into at least two sub-flows, in particular according to a density of foreign bodies. One sub-flow of the sub-flows has a higher density of foreign bodies in comparison to another sub-flow of the sub-flows. The machine tool also includes at least one fluid cooling unit which is provided for cooling the drive unit by way of the at least two sub-flows.

A portable power tool includes an electromotive drive with an output shaft defining a first axis and having a first end portion and a second opposite end portion. The first end portion is between a mounted machining tool and the second end portion. The electromotive drive is received in a first power tool housing portion and includes a stator having a first stator end defining a first plane and a second stator end defining a second plane, the first plane is located between the first end portion and the second plane. A second power tool housing portion defines a handle gripping portion with a first surface defining a third plane which intersects the output shaft at a location whereat the first plane is between the third plane and the second plane. A second surface portion opposite the first surface portion defines a fourth plane parallel to the third plane.

A portable power tool, in particular an angle grinder, includes a housing that accommodates a drive and an electronic device with an interface configured to electrically connect the electronic device. The power tool further includes a housing inner part that is configured as a drive housing and supports the electronic device. The interface has at least one first electrical interface contact region and at least one second interface contact region spaced apart from the first interface contact region. At least one insulating element spaced apart from the interface contact regions is arranged between the housing inner part and the electronic device. The insulating element is configured to avoid an electrical short-circuiting connection between the first interface contact region and the second interface contact region.

An electric tool includes a motor, a first intermediate member configured to be displaced when a first accessory is attached to a first attachment portion, a second intermediate member configured to be displaced when a second accessory is attached to a second attachment portion, and a first interlock member. The first interlock member mechanically moves in conjunction with the respective displacements of the first intermediate member and the second intermediate member. The first interlock member is displaced in the same direction between when the first accessory is attached and when the second accessory is attached, and is cumulatively displaced when the first accessory and the second accessory are attached. The electric tool is configured in such a manner that power supply to the motor is permitted only in a state that the first interlock member is cumulatively displaced.

This invention is a device and method for weighting and balancing ar hand-held electric angle grinder. A weight shaft is mounted on the frame of the angle grinder coaxially with the axis of rotation of the angle grinder motor. A selection of weights can be mounted on the weight shaft to provide extra downward pressure, through the motor and frame, to the grinding disc of the angle grinder. The weights are also selected to suppress vibration that is produced by the interaction between the grinding disc and the surface. As a result, the present invention provides an angle grinder that is easier and less exhaustingI to use, is less likely to have any harmful effects on the user, is able to provide a more effective functioning of the angle grinder, and is able to provide a treated work surface of better quality and less expense.
