Abstract
A power tool includes a housing having a base configured to support the power tool relative to a workpiece. The power tool includes a handle coupled to the housing. The handle defines a longitudinal axis and includes a first portion positioned between the longitudinal axis. The housing the base and a second portion opposite the first portion and extending away from the base. The power tool includes an activation switch coupled to a side surface of the housing. The activation switch is slidable in a direction parallel with a switch axis that intersects the longitudinal axis from a deactivated state, in which the drive system is non-operable, to an activated state, in which the drive system is operable. The activation switch is slidable toward the second portion of the housing from an intersection point between the switch axis and the longitudinal axis.
