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 hand-held power tool having hammer-drilling, drilling and screwing modes, including a mode-setting device having an actuating element, a setting element, and a gear unit for driving an output shaft, in which the actuating and setting elements are interconnected in a rotatably fixed manner, and, in an operating mode(s), the setting element is coupled to a transmission element supported at a coupling housing assigned to the gear unit and axially displaceable at the coupling housing in a screwing position associated with the screwing mode and is axially fixed in position at the coupling housing in hammer-drilling and drilling positions of the corresponding modes; the transmission element is connected to the coupling housing in a rotatably fixed manner, a predefined operating mode being settable by rotating the setting element; the setting and transmission elements being rotatable relative to one another, the setting element embracing at least sections of the transmission element.
