Portable power tool with protective cover

A portable power tool in the form of an angle grinder, with a longitudinal housing (12) for accommodating a motor for driving a driven shaft (16) that is angled relative to the housing (12), the driven shaft being rotatably supported in a gearbox casing (14) and extending out of the gearbox casing (14) with a free end that is provided to accommodate a sanding body, whereby a protective cover (43) encompassing the sanding body is capable of being fastened on the gearbox casing (14) such that its rotation can be adjusted, and the rotational position of which is lockable using a notch lever (30),

• wherein the notch lever (30) is positioned transversely to the longitudinal axis of the Angle grinder (10) and is pivotable around a pivot axis (34) situated substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the housing (12), wherein the notch lever (30) includes centrally located engagement cams (32) that are oriented toward the protective cover, and a pusher (35) on a free end for releasing the engagement cams.
