  • Patent number: 8316547
    Abstract: A hand-held power tool protective device (10a-d) for a hand-held power tool (12a-d) with a drive unit and a tool (26a-d) includes an operating element (14a-d, 16a-d) which can actuate an electrical switch for activating the drive unit and a shut-off unit (18a-d) have a shut-off mechanism (24a-d). The shut-off unit (18a-d) brings about a shut-off during a deactivation of the operating element (14a-d, 16a-d) and therefore, a deactivation of the drive unit via the at least one shut-off means (24a-d). An emergency shut-off unit (28a-d) enables an emergency shut-off of an operation of the tool (26a-d) when the operating element (14a-d, 16a-d) is activated. The shut-off unit (18a-d) and the emergency shut-off unit (28a-d) are at least partially formed integrally.
