The magazine is arranged inside a housing, and when the tool is in a change position, one of the tool chambers of the tool-changing magazine is aligned with a tubular tool holder. The tool further includes a sliding element configured to slide a tool from the tool-changing magazine into the tool holder and from the tool holder back into the tool-changing magazine. The sliding element is movable in a longitudinal direction of the tool holder. In at least one embodiment, the sliding element is coupled with a gearbox system which includes at least one toothed gear. The rotational motion of the toothed gear is translated into linear movement of the sliding element. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A motor-powered machine tool, comprising: a housing; a tubular tool receptacle; a drum-like tool change magazine having a plurality of tool chambers, the tool change magazine arranged within the housing and configured to selectively position each of the tool chambers in a change position in which a longitudinal axis of the positioned tool chamber is coincident with a longitudinal axis of the tool receptacle; a sliding element configured to be moved relative to the tool receptacle in a direction extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tool receptacle and configured to act upon a tool from the tool change magazine and slide the tool into the tool receptacle and slide the tool from the tool receptacle back into the tool change magazine; a gear-mechanism device coupled to the sliding element and including at least one gearwheel, wherein rotational movement of the at least one gearwheel is converted into a linear movement of the sliding element; and an adjusting element mechanically coupled to the at least one gearwheel for purely mechanical actuation of the at least one gearwheel by the adjusting element, wherein manual actuation of the adjusting element causes the adjusting element to rotate the at least one gearwheel. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The machine tool as claimed in claim 1, wherein the adjusting element penetrates an opening of the housing. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The machine tool as claimed in claim 2, wherein the adjusting element is arranged such that it is sealed with respect to the housing. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The machine tool as claimed in claim 1, wherein the sliding element is configured at least in regions as a toothed rack. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The machine tool as claimed in claim 1, wherein the gear-mechanism device includes a plurality of gearwheels configured to produce a displacement transmission ratio of the adjusting element relative to the sliding element. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The machine tool as claimed in claim 4, wherein the at least one gearwheel includes a first gearwheel and a second gearwheel, wherein the sliding element has mutually opposite sides that each include a toothing system, and wherein the sliding element is arranged such that the first gearwheel and the second gearwheel each engage the toothing system of one of the mutually opposite sides. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The machine tool as claimed in claim 1, wherein: the tool receptacle includes an inner contour formed on an inner circumference of the tool receptacle, the tool includes an outer contour that extends in a direction that is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tool receptacle along at least a portion of a longitudinal axis of the tool, the inner contour and the outer contour are configured to interact with one another and bring about a rotationally fixed arrangement of the tool at least in an axial end position of the tool in the tool receptacle, the inner circumference of the tool receptacle includes a region with at least one entry guide formed on a side which faces the sliding element, and the entry guide, during sliding of the tool into the tool receptacle, angularly aligns the longitudinal axis of the tool so as to be parallel with respect to the longitudinal axis of the tool receptacle. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The machine tool as claimed in claim 1, wherein: the tool receptacle has an inner contour and the tool has an outer contour that extends in a direction that is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tool receptacle along at least a portion of a longitudinal axis of the tool, the inner contour and the outer contour are configured to interact with one another and bring about a rotationally fixed arrangement of the tool at least in an axial end position of the tool in the tool receptacle, and the inner contour is formed on an inner circumference of the tool receptacle and has a plurality of longitudinal ribs with entry edges, the longitudinal ribs extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tool receptacle. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The machine tool as claimed in claim 8, wherein the longitudinal ribs have one of a rounded cross section and a triangular cross section. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The machine tool as claimed in claim 1, wherein the adjusting element is embodied as a rotary adjusting element, wherein upon manual actuation of the rotary adjusting element rotational movement of the rotary adjusting element is converted into the linear movement of the sliding element. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The machine tool as claimed in claim 10, wherein the gear-mechanism device includes a first gearwheel and a second gearwheel, wherein the first gearwheel is configured to mesh with a toothing system of the sliding element and the second gearwheel is configured to mesh with a toothing system of the rotary adjusting element. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The machine tool as claimed in claim 11, wherein the first gearwheel and the second gearwheel have a different diameter or a different number of teeth and are mounted in a rotationally fixed manner with respect to one another in a common rotational axis. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The machine tool as claimed in claim 1, wherein the adjusting element is embodied as a sliding adjusting element, wherein upon manual actuation of the sliding adjusting element linear movement of the sliding adjusting element is converted into the linear movement of the sliding element. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The machine tool as claimed in claim 13, wherein the gear-mechanism includes a first gearwheel and a second gearwheel, wherein the first gearwheel is configured to mesh with a toothing system of the sliding element and the second gearwheel is configured to mesh with a toothing system disposed on the housing. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The machine tool as claimed in claim 14, wherein the first gearwheel and the second gearwheel are arranged on an axis which is perpendicular to a sliding axis of the sliding element. ### Claim 16 (depends on 13) The machine tool as claimed in claim 13, wherein the gear-mechanism device includes two first gearwheels and two second gearwheels, wherein the two first gearwheels are arranged on opposite sides of the sliding element and configured to mesh with a toothing system of the sliding element, and the two second gearwheels are configured to each mesh with a toothing system disposed on the housing.
