Abstract:
1. A hand-held power tool ( 2 ), comprising a tool spindle ( 12 ) having a spindle axis (W); a motor ( 6 ) for driving the tool spindle ( 12 ); a handle ( 18 ) pivotable between a first holding, forwardly inclined position in which the handle ( 18 ), starting from the spindle axis (W), is inclined in an operational direction (A) of the power tool ( 2 ) and a second holding, normally inclined position in which the handle ( 18 ), starting from the spindle axis (W), is inclined in a direction opposite the operational direction (A) of the power tool; and an actuator ( 22 ) provided on the handle ( 18 ) for switching the motor ( 6 ) on and off, wherein the handle ( 18 ) has a balancing axis (G), and wherein an angle (β) between the balancing axis (G) in the forwardly inclined position of the handle ( 18 ) and the balancing axis (G) in the normally inclined position of the handle ( 18 ) amounts to from 10° to 40°, and wherein an angle (α) between the balancing axis (G) and a perpendicular (N) to the spindle axis (W) varies from 10° to 20° for the forwardly inclined position of the handle ( 18 ) and for the normally inclined position of the handle ( 18 ).
