Patent attributes
A manually operated electric machine tool for a disk-shaped rotating tool (18), having a machine housing (11) from which a drive spindle (12) for the tool (18) protrudes and on which a hollow cylindrical collar (15) is embodied coaxial to the drive spindle (12), and having a guard (20) that is detachably connected to the machine housing (11) and is designed to at least partially cover the tool (18), which guard can be mounted to and fixed in relation to the collar (15) by means of a clamp (23) with a clamping element (24). To set the guard (20) in desired rotation positions in relation to the machine housing (11) without using an auxiliary tool, and to secure the guard (20) in any rotation position, the clamp (23) is secured to the collar (15) in a rotating fashion and a manually releasable locking mechanism is provided between the clamp (23) and the collar (15) (FIG. 1).
