Abstract:
1. A power tool comprising: a switch having a switch housing enclosing the switch; a circuit board; and at least one mechanical coupling element embodied in the form of spacer bolts for producing a rigid mechanical coupling between the switch and circuit board, the switch housing being directly connected to the circuit board in a mechanically rigid fashion by means of the spacer bolts, the spacer bolts being positioned between the switch and the circuit board, such that a first end of the spaced bolts is on an outside of the switch housing facing the circuit board and is attached to an exterior of the switch housing and a second end of the spacer bolts is attached to the circuit board, wherein a space is provided between the exterior of the switch housing and the circuit board by the presence of the spacer bolts therebetween, wherein the switch housing has a geometry which is adapted to an ergonomic shape of a handle of the power tool by means of deviations from a block shape, wherein the deviations include beveling of edges of the block; and at least one flexible cable for producing an electrical connection between the switch and circuit board, and at least one cable support situated on the switch and/or the coupling element and/or the circuit board.
