Claim:
A hand-held electric power tool ( 2 ), comprising: a switching gear unit ( 6 ) having at least two switching stages; an impact mechanism ( 10 ); and a mode switch ( 4 ) for switching the switching gear unit ( 6 ) back and forth between the at least two switching stages and for switching the impact mechanism ( 10 ) on and off, and a switching arrangement ( 15 ) having gear unit switching means ( 16 ) for connecting the mode switch ( 4 ) with the switching gear unit ( 6 ) and impact mechanism switching means ( 18 ) for connecting the mode switch ( 4 ) with the impact mechanism ( 10 ), the impact mechanism switching means ( 18 ) having a swiveling mechanism switchable by the mode switch ( 4 ) between an active position in which the impact mechanism ( 10 ) is switched on, and a passive position in which the impact mechanism is switched off; wherein the swiveling mechanism has a switch-side swiveling member ( 24 ) which is held so as to be swivelable at a first rotary bearing (D 1 ), is movement-coupled with the mode switch ( 4 ), and is actuated by actuating means, depending on the position in which the impact mechanism ( 10 ) is switched on or off; and wherein the actuating means comprises a swiveling member ( 26 ) on the impact mechanism side that is held at a second rotary bearing (D 2 ) so as to be swivelable transverse to the switch-side swiveling member ( 24 ).
