Pressing tool with safety element

A pressing tool for plastically deforming a workpiece, the pressing tool comprising:

• a housing and an electric motor for actuating the pressing tool;
• a tool receptacle which is adapted to receive an interchangeable instrument head at the housing;
• a mechanical safety element which is arranged in a manner that is movable from an open position, in which the instrument head may be inserted into the tool receptacle, into a closed position, in which the instrument head is locked in the tool receptacle;
• a mechanical actuating element which is arranged at the tool receptacle in a manner that is movable between a first position and a second position, wherein the actuating element is arranged to interact with the mechanical safety element, so that the safety element forces the actuating element into the second position in its closed position;
• wherein
• the housing of the pressing tool is provided with at least one sensor which, when triggered, causes the pressing tool to be released for a pressing operation, and wherein the actuating element in its second position triggers the sensor;
• wherein
• the tool receptacle is rotatably arranged on the housing of the pressing tool and is coupled to the housing via a rotary joint, wherein the actuating element comprises a ring element which encloses the tool receptacle, and wherein the ring element is arranged to cause the sensor to be triggered when the actuating element is in its second position.
