Handle arrangement for a power tool

A power tool comprising:

• a spindle for supporting a tool element;
• a body defining an axis and housing a motor and a drive mechanism driven by the motor, the drive mechanism selectively driving the spindle, the body having a forward end supporting the spindle and a rearward end;
• a grip pivotably connected to the rearward end of the body for pivotable movement about the axis, the grip having a first end and a second end, the first end being engageable by a hand of an operator, the second end being adjacent the rearward end of the body;
• a switch assembly operable to electrically connect the motor to a power source, at least a portion of the switch assembly being supported on the grip for pivoting movement with the grip;
• and
• a wiring arrangement electrically connecting the switch assembly to the motor and accommodating pivoting movement of the switch assembly with the grip and relative to the motor.
