A hand-held power tool, which has a pneumatic impact mechanism with an impact piston that is able to be moved back and forth along a working axis in a guide tube by a pneumatic spring, is characterized in that a cylindrical surface of the impact piston has a plurality of cutouts that are distributed in the circumferential direction, and the cutouts take up at least 30%, at least 50% and/or at least 70% of the circumference of the cylindrical surface of the impact piston.

Hand-held power tool

A control method for a percussive hand-held power tool () includes the steps: detecting a switching state of an operating button (), detecting a temperature T using a temperature sensor (), activating an electropneumatic striking mechanism () in response to an actuation of the operating button (), an exciter () of the electropneumatic striking mechanism () being moved forward and backward along a working axis () at a repetition rate R, whereby a striker () coupled to the exciter () via a pneumatic chamber () is also moved. If the temperature T is greater than a limiting temperature Tc, the repetition rate R is continuously increased from idle up to a setpoint value (). A duration until reaching the setpoint value () is less than 10 cycles. If the temperature T is less than the limiting temperature Tc, a duration until reaching the setpoint value () is greater than 200 cycles.

Control method for a percussive hand-held power tool

A handheld power tool includes a tool holder for holding a tool, an electric motor, a shaft connecting the tool holder and the electric motor, and a protective device for stopping the tool holder in an uncontrolled situation. The protective device includes a sensor for detecting the uncontrolled situation, a switchable current source and a normally closing magnetic brake. The switchable current source outputs a first current not equal to zero in response to signals of the sensor if an uncontrolled situation is not detected; the current source does not output a current or outputs a second current different from the first current if an uncontrolled situation is detected. The normally closing magnetic brake engages on the shaft and does not apply a torque to the shaft when energized by the first current. The normally closing magnetic brake applies a torque counteracting the rotational movement of the shaft when not energized or when energized by the second current.
