a housing, in or on which a drive unit is arranged for driving a processing tool for processing food;
an actuating mechanism for actuating the drive unit, wherein the actuating mechanism has
a moveable switching element arranged outside the housing on a cover, the movable switching element having a free end,
a switch arranged inside the housing, and
an opening passing through the housing;

the switch being switchable with the movable switching element for actuating the drive unit such that the moveable switching element is moved relative to the switch when the free end of the movable switching element engages a recess of the housing; and
a sealing element, which forms a seal while closing the opening and transfers the movement of the moveable switching element to the switch, a shape of the recess corresponds approximately to a shape of the free end to contact the recess after a certain travel distance to prevent damage to the sealing element.
