Actuating device for a machine tool, in particular a rod-based machine tool, method for actuating the machine tool and switching unit for the actuating device

摘要

The invention is based on an actuating device for a machine tool (12a; 12b; 12c; 12d), with at least one, at least essentially rod-shaped base unit (22a; 22b; 22c; 22d), with at least two handle units (26a , 28a; 26d, 28d), which are each intended to be at least largely gripped by at least one hand of a user, the two handle units (26a, 28a; 26d, 28d) each being on the base unit (22a; 22b; 22c; 22d) or are at least partially designed as part of the basic unit (22a; 22b; 22c; 22d), and with at least one switching unit (30a; 30b; 30c; 30d) for controlling at least one function of the machine tool (12a; 12b ; 12c; 12d). It is proposed that at least one handle unit (26a; 26d) of the two handle units (26a, 28a; 26d, 28d) be used as an actuating element (34a; 34d) of the switching unit (30a; 30b; 30c; 30d) is formed, which relative v to the basic unit (22a; 22b; 22c; 22d) and/or relative to a further handle unit (28a; 28d) of the two handle units (26a, 28a; 26d, 28d) along at least two different movement paths (38a, 40a; 38b, 40b; 38c, 40c; 38d, 40d) is movably mounted, at least one movement path (38a; 38b; 38c; 38d) following a rotational movement.
