Abstract
A hand-held machine tool (1) including a drive device (4) by which a tool that can be brought into operative connection with the machine tool (1) can be actuated, with a control device (8) for actuating the drive device (4) and at least one capacitive sensor element (30, 35) operatively connected to the control device (8) being provided. The at least one element (2, 75) of the machine tool that is arranged in the region of the capacitive sensor element (30, 35) is grounded.
Claims20
A hand-held machine tool comprising:
- a drive, a tool bringable into operative connection with the hand-held machine tool via the drive;
- a controller for actuating the drive;
- at least one capacitive sensor operatively connected to the controller;
- and
- at least one grounded element arranged in a region of the capacitive sensor being electrically grounded;
- a housing with a grip region for a first hand of a user and a switch actuable when the machine tool is held in the grip region;
- and
- a grip device separate from the grip region for a second hand of a user, the at least one capacitive sensor extending as a line from the controller to sense the second hand of the user on the grip device.
