Abstract
A power tool, particularly a hammer drill, is equipped with a blower which is mounted on the output shaft of the motor which drives the tool element which is clamped in the chuck of the power tool. The particulate material which is removed by the tool element from a structure is entrained in a stream of air generated by the blower and conveyed toward the latter. Before the particulate material enters the blower, at least most of it impacts an impact member which extends across an inlet section of the conduit through which the stream of air passes, so that the impact member deprives the entrained particulate material at least of the greater part of the kinetic energy possessed thereby, before the particulate material reaches the blower and damages the same due to its high kinetic energy. The particulate material entrained in the stream of air may be collected in a collecting receptacle which is detachably connected to the power tool, and a plate-shaped filter may be arranged between the space bounded by the receptacle and the downstream portion of the conduit, being supported on a grid of pins which between themselves define openings which communicate with the downstream portion of the conduit.
