Abstract
The invention refers to a protective shroud (40) for a hand-guided power tool (1), in particular a polisher or sander, the protective shroud (40) being adapted to be attached to a housing (2) of the power tool (1) and to cover at least part of a working element (11) of the power tool (1). It is suggested that the protective shroud (40) is secured to the housing (2) in at least one direction by means of magnetic force (47, 59).
Claims21
A hand-guided power tool (1) comprising a tool housing (2) containing a motor (16), a working element (11) driven by the motor (16) and rotating about a rotational axis (12) during operation of the motor (16) and protruding at least partially from the tool housing (2), and a protective shroud (40) releasably attachable to the tool housing (2) and covering at least part of the working element (11),
- the protective shroud (40) having a tube form with a cavity (52) defined in its inside adapted for receiving at least part of a functional unit (27) of the hand-guided power tool (1), when the protective shroud (40) is attached to the tool housing (2) of the hand-guided power tool (1), the functional unit (27) being arranged between a tool shaft (23) and the working element (11) of the hand-guided powertool (1) and comprising an eccentric element (28b) adapted for making the working element (11) perform a random-orbital working movement,
- wherein the protective shroud (40) is attached to the tool housing (2) when the functional unit (27) is arranged between the tool shaft (23) and the working element (11) of the hand-guided power tool (1),
- wherein the protective shroud (40) is secured to the tool housing (2) in at least one direction by means of magnetic force (47, 59), and
- wherein the protective shroud (40) is detached from the tool housing (2) when the working element (11) is directly attached to the tool shaft (23) without the functional unit (27) in-between making the working element (11) perform a rotational movement about the rotational axis (12).
The hand-guided power tool (1) according to wherein the tube form of the protective shroud (40) has a receptacle (44) defined in its inside adapted for receiving at least part of the tool housing (2) of the hand-guided power tool (1).
