  • Publication number: 20230202068
    Abstract: A hand-held power tool, more particularly a router, includes (i) a housing in which a drive unit for driving an insertion tool is disposed; (ii) a base plate for guiding the hand-held power tool on a workpiece surface, the base plate being height-adjustable on the housing, and the base plate having an opening, through which the insertion tool at least partly extends; and (iii) a height adjustment device for setting a working height of the base plate on the housing relative to the insertion tool. A setting aid is provided which allows height adjustment of a bottom of the base plate by way of the height adjustment device such that said bottom is flush with a predefined cutting edge of the insertion tool.

  • Patent number: 10454391
    Abstract: A hand-held power tool includes a housing with a handle, a transmission, a drive motor, a tool receiver, and a first switch unit. The transmission and drive motor are arranged in the housing, the transmission being configured to transmit a torque generated by the drive motor to the tool receiver, which is configured to rotate about a rotation axis. The first switch unit is configured to control the drive motor, and has a first switching element and a second switching element that are configured to operate the first switch unit and that enable an operator to influence various control variables of the drive motor. The second switching element is further configured to control a direction of the rotation of the drive motor, and upon actuation, execute a linear movement that is substantially parallel to the rotation axis.

  • Publication number: 20190001478
    Abstract: A hand-held power tool includes a drive unit, a gearshift unit, and a servomotor. The drive unit is configured to drive a working tool in at least one non-percussive mode of operation and includes a percussion mechanism for the percussive operation of the working tool in an associated percussion mode. The drive unit is associated with the gearshift unit for shifting the drive unit between the at least one non-percussive mode of operation and the associated percussion mode. The gearshift unit is associated with the servomotor designed to actuate, when it is activated in the non-percussive mode of operation, the percussion mechanism by switching the drive unit from the at least one non-percussive mode of operation into the associated percussion mode.
