Hand-held power tool for sending or polishing a workpiece

Hand-held power tool (1) for sanding or polishing a working surface (30) of a workpiece, the hand-held power tool (1) comprising

• a housing (2) and
• a backing pad (3) adapted for performing an orbital or a random orbital movement in an extension plane (25) of the backing pad (3) in respect to the housing (2) during use of the hand-held power tool (1), and
• the hand-held power tool (1) further comprising in the housing (2)
• a motor (4) with a motor shaft (5) adapted for performing a rotational movement about an axis of rotation (6), and
• means (7, 8) for transforming the rotational movement of the motor shaft (5) into
• the orbital or random orbital movement of the backing pad (3),
• the backing pad (3) being supported in respect to the housing (2) of the hand-held power tool (1) in a manner freely rotatable about a longitudinal rotational axis (9) extending perpendicular to the extension plane (25) of the backing pad (3), wherein
• the housing (2) or the backing pad (3) comprises at least two sets of first magnetic elements (16), the first magnetic elements of each set spaced apart from and facing each other in a circumferential direction extending in a second plane extending parallel to, and at an axial distance from, the extension plane (25) of the backing pad (3), a space (41) between the first magnetic elements of each set (16) extending in the circumferential direction by less than 45% and
• the backing pad (3) or the housing (2) comprises at least one second magnetic element (17) located in the second plane and in the space (41) between the first magnetic elements (16) of each set in such a manner that the at least one second magnetic element (17) is held at a distance to the first magnetic elements (16) by means of a magnetic force acting in the circumferential direction around the longitudinal rotational axis (9) at least when the motor (4) of the hand-held power tool (1) is running and the hand-held power tool (1) is in an idle state, thereby limiting the movement of the backing pad (3) to an orbital movement.
