The invention relates to a hand-cutting machine, in particular a sawing machine, with a drive assembly, which has a tool holder for a disc-like cutting tool, in particular a saw blade, and a drive motor for rotationally driving the tool holder, and with a guide device with a guide surface on a substrate along is feasible and on which the drive assembly is pivotally supported by a Tiefeneinstelllagers about a Tiefenstellachse between an upper and a lower cutting depth position, wherein the tool holder is closer to the guide surface than in the upper depth of cut position in the lower depth position, so that the cutting tool further ahead of the Guide surface protrudes than in the upper depth of cut position, wherein the manual cutting machine for adjusting the respective depth of cut position a Tiefeneinstelleinrichtung with a guide device connected to the leadership Tiefenei Nstellelement and one connected to the drive assembly drive Tiefeneinstellelement, which is adjusted relative to the guide Tiefeneinstellelement in the adjustment of the depth of cut position, and having at least one Einstellfunktionalität providing adjusting body.

Such hand-cutting machines are, for example, pendulum hood saws, dip saws or the like. With the aid of the depth adjustment device, it is possible for the drive assembly to be fixable with respect to the guide device so as to permanently fix a defined depth of cut. Furthermore, it is possible that the Tiefeneinstelleinrichtung represents a stop on which strikes the drive assembly in the respective predetermined depth of cut. Thus, therefore, based on such a depth adjustment several functions can be realized However, the construction of a respective Tiefeneinstelleinrichtung is very limited to the particular type of hand-ripper.

It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a manual cutting machine with a universal depth adjustment as possible.

To achieve the object, it is provided in a manual cutting machine of the type mentioned above that the adjusting body is movably mounted with respect to the guide Tiefeneinstellelements and the drive Tiefeneinstellelements and by means of a drive-fastening device to or with the drive Tiefeneinstellelement and based on a Guide attachment device to the guide Tiefeneinstellelement is detachably fastened.

The guide Tiefeneinstellelement can for example form a part of the guide means, so be fixed to the guide means. At this point it should be noted that the guide device can also be multi-part, so may include a drive carrier for the drive assembly explained later. The guide Tiefeneinstellelement can be arranged for example on the drive carrier. The drive Tiefeneinstellelement example, fixed to the drive assembly, for example, a housing thereof, arranged.

The guide Tiefeneinstellelement can form or have a stop for the drive assembly. The drive Tiefeneinstellelement can also form, for example, a stop for the guide device, for example, the aforementioned drive carrier or.

The basic idea is that the adjusting body once has a relation to the drive assembly, once a reference to the guide device. The adjusting body can thus be connected once with the drive assembly, at another time with the guide means and also with both the guide means and the drive assembly. As a result, the adjustment body can realize a plurality of completely different adjustment functionalities. Below are explains some adjustment functions that can be provided individually or in any combination with each other.

The at least one setting functionality includes, for example, a stop function. The adjusting body preferably serves as a stop element for abutting the drive assembly in at least one cutting depth position. In this case, it is possible, for example, for the adjusting body to be fastened to the guide depth adjusting element and for the drive module to abut against the adjusting body which is stationary relative to the guide device. But it is also possible that the adjusting body is fixedly connected to the drive assembly and is moved with it, so to speak, where it strikes in its function as a stopper body on a counter-stop element, which in turn is fixedly secured to the guide means.

Another advantageous setting functionality includes a display function. It is preferable if the adjusting body serves as a display element for indicating a respective cutting depth position. It is possible that the display element, for example, carries an index, which is on a display scale, which is stationary relative to the drive assembly or the guide means is moved. For example, a corresponding scale can be provided on the guide Tiefeneinstellelement or the drive Tiefeneinstellelement on which the adjusting body or the index of the adjusting body is moved past to indicate in this way a respective depth of cut. It is preferred that on the adjusting body a display scale is present, which is moved past a relative to the guide device or relative to the drive assembly stationary index. When the adjusting body is directly displaced with respect to a corresponding index, indexable indexes, for example, are not necessary in the manner of riders. Thus, for example, an index or a display scale can be provided on the adjusting body.

Another setting functionality is for example a fixing function. It is preferred if the adjusting body as a fixing element for fixing the drive assembly with respect to the guide means in at least one Schnitttiefen- Position is designed or serves. For example, it is possible that, in this case, the guide fixing means and the drive fixing means are connected to the adjusting body to thereby fix the driving assembly with respect to the guide means in a predetermined cutting depth position.

A preferred embodiment provides that the depth adjustment device has or forms a fixing device for fixing the drive assembly with respect to the guide device in at least one cutting depth position. This functionality is preferably realized in connection with the adjusting body. But it is also possible that the fixing function is realized independently of the setting body. The adjusting body can for example serve as a stop element and the fixing function can additionally be realized, for example by providing a clamping device or latching device or locking device for clamping, latching or locking the drive assembly relative to the guide device away from the adjusting body.

When the depth adjusting member and the adjusting body are connected to each other by the respective fastening means, they are advantageously fixed relative to each other with respect to at least one degree of freedom of movement.

The adjusting body expediently forms a fixing body for fixing the drive assembly with respect to the guide device. For example, the fixing body forms or comprises a form-fitting body, which allows a positive fit, and / or a clamping body which can be clamped or actively acts in the sense of clamping. For example, the adjusting body may include a clamping pliers or the like.

An advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the drive-fastening device or the guide-fastening device or both has a locking device for locking the adjusting body with the respective Tiefeneinstellelement.

Furthermore, it is possible for a frictional engagement surface to be provided on a retaining element of the drive fastening device or the guide fastening device, wherein the frictional engagement surface serves for frictionally holding the adjustment body. A friction frictional surface is also advantageous in this context on the adjusting body. The frictional engagement surface may include, for example, a rubber coating or the like.

Preference is given to a form-fitting hold which the respective fastening device and the adjusting element realize with one another. It is expediently provided that the drive fastening device or the guide fastening device or both and the adjusting body have mutually matching form-fitting contours and Gegenformschlusskonturen. For example, positive locking projections are provided in the fastening device, which can engage positively in form-fitting receptacles of the adjusting body.

An advantageous configuration provides that the form-fitting contours or counter-form-fit contours or both have a row of teeth or another arrangement of form-fitting projections or form-fitting receptacles arranged side by side in a row direction and assigned to different depths of cut. For example, two or more form-fitting projections or form-fitting receptacles are arranged next to one another. It is particularly preferred if at least one, preferably two rows of teeth are or are provided, which are engageable in different depth of cut positions in engagement with a counter-tooth or with each other. Due to the plurality of teeth, which are each in engagement with each other, a particularly firm hold in the respective cutting depth position is given. A preferred embodiment provides that the drive fastening device or guide fastening device or both are spring-loaded in the direction of a holding position holding the adjusting body. The fastening device thus has a holding element which is loaded by a spring or spring arrangement in the direction of the holding position. The operator therefore only has to become active in one direction, ie, bring the fastening device from the holding position into a release position, so that the adjusting body is released. In the opposite direction then works, for example, a spring, in particular a compression spring or a tension spring, which loads the respective holding element of the drive-fastening device or the guide-fastening device in the direction of the holding position.

Appropriately, it is provided that the holding element by an adjustment of the drive assembly and the guide means about the Tiefeneinstel- salmon relative to each other in the direction of a release body releasing release position is deflectable, ie, for example, a corresponding operating contour, for example, an actuating slope has.

In this case, it is preferably provided that then the retaining element is in turn acted upon by the spring or spring arrangement in the holding position to hold the adjusting body. For example, the drive assembly can be fixed in the lower depth of cut position. Furthermore, it is possible in this way to lock the adjusting element, for example, with the holding element or to jam, so that the setting element, for example, stationary with the guide means, for example, the drive carrier, or the drive assembly is connected.

A holding element of the drive fastening device or the guide fastening device is expediently movable on the drive mounted assembly or the guide device between a holding the adjusting body holding position and the adjusting body releasing the release position. However, it is also possible that a retaining element of the drive fastening device or the guide fastening device is movably mounted on the adjusting body and, for example, moved away in the release position of the associated drive Tiefeneinstellelement or Fuhr- Tiefeneinstellelement, in the holding position with this is in contact, for example, positively engages in this or frictionally engages this.

It is advantageous if an actuating element is arranged ergonomically at an area of the drive assembly furthest away from the guide surface, for example in the region of an upper apex region of the drive assembly, for example a cover hood for the separating tool.

By means of the actuating element, an operator can, for example, move the guide fastening devices and / or the drive fastening device from a fixing position fixing the adjusting body with the respective depth setting element into a release position, in which the adjusting body is movable relative to the respective depth setting element, and / or vice versa from the release position in the fixing position.

It is expedient if the drive fastening device and / or the guide fastening device is loaded in the direction of the fixing position by a spring or spring arrangement and the operator must actively actuate the respective fastening device only in the direction of the release position. For example, the respective fastening device forms a latching device, which is loaded in the direction of the fixing position by the spring or spring arrangement in the direction of a setting element with the drive depth adjustment element or the guide depth adjustment element.

A manual actuating element is expediently assigned an abutment element, for example an arm, to which the operator releases the actuating element. element can move. For example, the operator may grip the actuator and the abutment member in the manner of a pair of pliers or scissors.

It is advantageous if a guide arrangement for guiding the drive assembly is provided at a distance from the depth adjustment bearing, in order to guide the drive assembly relative to the guide device during the adjustment about the depth adjustment axis.

It is possible that the drive assembly is guided relative to the guide device with respect to the Tiefeneinstellachse off the Tiefeneinstelleinrichtung. For this purpose, a separate guide arrangement with, for example, a guide projection on the drive assembly is then provided, for example, which dips into a guide receptacle of the guide device. It can also be provided, for example, arcuate guide surfaces or the like.

A preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the depth adjustment device has or forms a guide arrangement for guiding the pivoting movement of the drive assembly about the depth adjustment axis relative to the guide device. Thus, therefore, the depth adjustment contributes to the leadership of the drive assembly with respect to the guide device.

The guide components of this guide arrangement can be provided independently of the adjusting body, for example comprising interengaging guide projections and guide seats or corresponding guide slots or surfaces. However, it is preferred if the adjusting body forms a guide component of this guide arrangement.

An expedient variant of the invention provides that the guide depth adjustment element and / or the drive depth adjustment element or both have or form a guide for the adjustment body. For example, the respective depth adjusting element has a guide receptacle for receiving the adjusting body or a guide projection for engaging in the adjusting body. On the adjusting body preferably corresponding components are provided, for example, a guide receptacle into which a guide projection engages the Tiefeneinstellelements. When the adjusting body engages in a guide receptacle of a respective Tiefeneinstellelements, under certain circumstances, no special measures are provided.

Conveniently, a guide receptacle or a guide projection, which is provided on the adjusting body or on a respective Tiefeneinstellelement, for example the drive Tiefeneinstellelement or the guide Tiefeneinstellelement, an arcuate course. The curvature or arc extends at a predetermined radius about the depth adjustment axis.

Appropriately, it is provided that the guide body is mounted in the respective guide receiving slide-movable. The guide body and the sliding receptacle advantageously have an arcuate course.

It is preferred if the adjusting body has an arcuate course and / or is rod-shaped. For example, a curvature or an arc shape of the adjusting body extends around the depth adjusting axis with a predetermined radius.

The adjusting body preferably has an elongated shape.

The adjusting body extends, for example, along a path running around the depth adjusting axis.

The adjusting body is preferably received against rotation in a respective guide. For example, the adjusting body has a polygonal, in particular rectangular cross-section, which corresponds to a corresponding rotationally receiving inner contour of the guide.

Advantageously, it is provided that the drive assembly is acted upon by a restoring spring device in the direction of the upper depth of cut position. The advantage of this construction is that the manual cutting machine automatically adjusts itself in the direction of the upper cutting depth position. So if, for example, a depth adjustment is provided which allows fixing of the drive assembly with respect to the guide means by the operator to set in this way a depth of cut, the operator need only solve this fixation, whereupon then the drive assembly, so to speak automatically, namely by the force the return spring device, adjusted in the direction of the upper depth of cut position. The operation and handling is very convenient and easy.

The return spring device allows the use of the hand-cutting machine both as a conventional pendulum hood saw and as a submersible saw.

An advantageous variant provides that the restoring spring device is arranged on the depth adjustment device. It is also possible for the return spring device to be integrated into the depth adjustment device or to form part of the depth adjustment device.

A further variant of the invention provides that the manual cutting machine has a guide arrangement for guiding the pivoting movement of the drive assembly about the Tiefeneinstellachse relative to the guide device. The guide arrangement has a distance to the Tiefeneinstelllager. It is advantageous if the return spring device is arranged on the guide arrangement or is integrated in this. It can also form part of the leadership arrangement.

The movable cover 19, however, covers the underside or the free side, so to speak of the cutting tool 14, especially if this is located away from the workpiece B. Thus, when the hand-ripper 10 is not in use, the cutting tool 14 is usually completely disposed inside the cover 18 and the cover 19, so that the operator can not be injured, even if the cutting tool 14 is still rotating.

The manual cutting machine 10 has a guide device 20 with a guide element 21, for example a guide plate. The guide element 21 is designed, for example, as a saw table. The drive assembly 1 1 is pivotably mounted on the guide device 20 by means of a depth adjustment bearing 36 about a depth adjustment axis TA. Thus, a depth of cut ST of the parting tool 14 into the workpiece W can be changed. A pivoting of the drive assembly 1 1 relative to the guide device 20 about the depth axis TA is indicated by an arrow P in FIG.

The depth adjustment axis TA is located in the working direction A at the front, close to a front side 24 of the guide device 20. The saw blade or cutting tool 14, however, is arranged on the right in the direction of A side 22 or longitudinal side of the guide device 20 or the guide member 21. The drive assembly 1 1 is located between the side 22 and a left in the working direction A side 23 of the guide member 21 or the guide device 20th

The parting tool 14 protrudes partially towards an upper side 26 of the guide element 21, partially in front of a guide surface 27 on the underside of the guide element 21, namely when the drive assembly 1 1 at least partially extends in the direction of a lower one from the upper depth position SO shown in FIG , For example, the lowest depth of cut position SU is adjusted or pivoted. It is preferably provided that the separating tool 14 does not protrude in front of the guide surface 27 in the upper depth of cut position SO.

A handle 28, for example, protruding in front of an upper side of the guide member 20 and is preferably knob-like, facilitates the guidance and handling Operation of the hand-ripper 10. The handle 28 is arranged in the working direction A in front of the handle 15.

Expediently parallel to the working direction A, in a longitudinal direction L of the guide rail 90, a longitudinal guide receptacle 33 for longitudinal guidance on a longitudinal guide projection 93 of the guide rail 90 and / or extends between the front side 24 and a rear or rear side 25 of the guide element 21 a rear engagement receptacle 34 for rear engagement by a Hintergreifvorsprung 94 of the guide rail 90. The longitudinal guide projection 93 and the Hintergreifvorsprung 94 are arranged for example on an upper-side guide surface 92 of a rail body 91 of the guide rail 90. On the longitudinal guide projection 93, the guide device 21 in the working direction A and thus the longitudinal direction L of the guide rail 90 can be guided. This can be placed with its bottom 95, for example, on the workpiece W, so that accurate and straight saw cuts or cuts are possible in this way. The rear engagement projection 94 and the rear engagement reception 34 ensure that the guide rail 90 is held on the guide device 20 transversely to the longitudinal direction L, so that the entire unit comprising the manual separation machine 10 and the guide rail 90 is taken by one operator from the workpiece W to another workpiece can, without this two components takes.

The drive assembly 1 1 is with respect to the guide member 21 about a miter axis GA, which is parallel to the working direction A, pivotally mounted (corresponding to an arrow G in Figure 10). For example, a drive carrier 40 is pivotably mounted on the guide device 20 about the miter axis A by means of a miter bearing arrangement 30. Between the guide member 21 and the drive carrier 40, a miter bearing assembly 30 is provided. The miter bearing arrangement 30 is located close to the tool holder 13, that is to say on the right-hand side 22 in the working direction A or on the longitudinal side.

The miter bearing arrangement 30 comprises a front miter bearing 31 in the working direction A and a miter bearing 32 behind a working direction A. The Tiefeneinstelllager 36 is arranged in the direction of A in front of the front miter 31. As a result, an exit region of the separating tool 14 from the workpiece W can be viewed particularly favorably.

The miter bearings 31, 32 comprise bearing elements 37, 38 which project upwardly in front of the guide element 21. At these abutment portions 41, 42 of the drive carrier 40 are pivotally mounted. The bearing elements 37, 38 and the abutment portions 41, 42 are for example plate-like. On the basis of fixing elements, such as clamping screws or the like, in particular only a single clamping screw 39, the abutment portions 41, 42 can be clamped to the bearing elements 37, 38, so that a respective miter position or miter pitch position of the cutting tool 14 relative to the guide surface 27 can be fixed. Often, the cutting tool 14 will be perpendicular to the guide surface 27, as regularly shown in the drawing.

The bearing element 37 preferably projects through a passage opening 45 of the drive carrier 40.

In front of the front miter 31 is a support arm 46 of the drive carrier 40, on which a support arm 29 of the drive assembly 1 1 is mounted. From the support arm 46 are from the side bearing projections 47 which engage in corresponding bearing receptacles of the support arm 29. The bearing projections 47 extend along the Tiefeneinstellachse TA. Consequently, therefore, the support arm 29 and thus the drive assembly 1 1 pivots on the bearing projections 47 of the Tiefeneinstellachse 36 about the Tiefeneinstellachse TA.

At a longitudinal distance to the Tiefeneinstelllager 36 a Tiefeneinstelleinrichtung 50 is provided. With the Tiefeneinstelleinrichtung 50 several functions can be realized, namely for example an indication of a respective cutting depth position and / or a stop function with which the drive assembly 1 1 in a preferably adjustable cutting depth position with respect to the guide means 20 abuts and / or a fixing function to the drive assembly 1 1 in a predetermined or adjustable cutting depth position ST with respect to the guide device 20 to fix.

The depth adjustment device 50 comprises an adjustment body 51, which is movably mounted with respect to a guide Tiefeneinstellelements 70 fixed with respect to the guide device 20 and a drive Tiefeneinstellelements 60 stationary relative to the drive assembly 11. The guide Tiefeneinstellelement 70 is provided for example on the drive carrier 40.

The adjusting body 51 is rod-shaped, but not straight, but bent. It has a curvature which has a fixed radius about the depth adjustment axis TA, and therefore extends in an arc around the depth adjustment axis TA.

The adjusting body 51 is slidably received in a guide receptacle 72 of the guide Tiefeneinstellelements 70. The guide receptacle 72 has an arc-shaped course corresponding to the curvature or the arc shape of the adjusting 51st Thus, the adjusting body 51 can be moved in the guide receptacle 72 about a curved path KB whose curvature or radius with respect to the Tiefeneinstellachse TA is constant.

The guide receptacle 72 comprises a guide wall 71 radially outward with respect to the cam track KB and with respect to the cam track radially inner support contour 73. On the guide wall 71 and the support contour 73, which advantageously form components of the drive carrier 40, longitudinal sides 54, 53 of the adjusting 51 are supported , The longitudinal side 54 is smooth, while the longitudinal side 53, as will be seen below, has a toothing 58. The longitudinal sides 53, 54 have a curved course.

Between the lower longitudinal end region 55 and an upper longitudinal end region 56 of the adjusting body 51 extends a guide receptacle 52 into which the drive guide element 60 with a guide projection 62 dips. The longitudinal sides 54, 53 extend between the longitudinal end regions 55, 56 of the adjusting body 51. The adjusting body 51 is for example approximately rectangular or square in cross section. However, the adjusting body 51 could also have other cross-sectional contours, for example also a circular cross-sectional contour.

Sides between the narrow sides or longitudinal sides 53, 54 extending unspecified longitudinal sides of the adjusting 51 are based on the one hand on a side wall 48 of the machine housing 35, on the other hand on a support wall 44 of the drive carrier 40 from. The support wall 44 is located between the guide wall 71 and the support contour 73 and limits the guide seat 72 laterally (FIGS. 8, 9).

A longitudinal end region 55 of the adjusting body 51 facing the guide device 20 can abut against a base 74 of the guide receptacle 72 when it is adjusted to its lower position shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.

The adjusting body 51 is movably mounted on the drive assembly 1 1 with respect to the drive Tiefeneinstellelements 60. The guide projection 62 projects in front of a head 61 of the drive depth adjusting member 60. The head 61 of the drive guide member 60 is fixed, for example, on the machine housing 35, conveniently in the vicinity of the handle 15, fixed. The guide projection 62 has a rod-like shape and protrudes toward the guide device 20 in front of the head 61.

Furthermore, it is possible that on the drive assembly 1 1 further guide components, for example, a guide slot 63 and one of these opposite guide wall 64 are provided, between which the adjusting body 51 is slidably movable adjustable. The guide wall 64 and the guide slot 63, which is also configured, for example, in the manner of a wall, define an arcuate guide receptacle 63a for the adjusting body 51. The guide projection 62 has an arcuate course as well as the adjusting body 51 and the guide receptacle 72 and the guide receptacle 52 and the guide receptacle 63a.

Thus, therefore, these guide components in the sense of a guide relative to each other or interact with each other, in particular engage each other. As a result, a guide arrangement 75 is provided as a whole, which guides the drive assembly 51 at a distance from the depth adjustment bearing 36 when pivoting about the depth adjustment axis TA.

Between the guide projection 62 and the guide seat 51 of the adjusting 51, a gap or distance is present. At this distance, a return spring means 65 is arranged with a return spring 66. The return spring 66 is a coil spring. The guide projection penetrates the restoring spring 66. An outer circumference of the restoring spring 66 bears, for example, against the inner circumference of the guide seat 52. The return spring 66 is expediently supported with its one longitudinal end on a provided at the longitudinal end portion 56 bottom 59 of the guide receptacle 52, with its other longitudinal end on the head 61 of the drive Tiefeneinstellelements 60 from. Thus, the return spring device 65 loads the drive assembly 1 1 in the direction of the upper depth of cut position SO.

This spring effect could in principle be provided permanently, but in the present case can be deactivated. In this context, the adjusting body 51 plays an advantageous and / or essential role.

The adjusting body 51 is selectively detachably connectable to the guide device 20, in particular its drive carrier 40, and with the drive assembly 1 1, for which a guide-fastening device 80 and a drive-fastening device 100 are provided.

The drive fastening device 80 comprises a holding element 81, which has a form-fitting projection 82 for engagement in a form-fitting receptacle 57a of the setting body 51. The positive connection 57 is, for example, on Längsendbereich 56 of the adjusting 51, at least on a far ahead of the guide means 20 projecting portion of the adjusting body 51, respectively.

The form-fitting projection 82 is provided, for example, on a retaining arm 88 of the retaining element 81. From the holding arm 81 is an actuating arm 83 from. The operating arm 83 is arranged, for example, so that it can be easily grasped by the operator. For example, the actuating arm 83 projects toward the handle 15. The holding element 81 is pivotable about a pivot axis by means of a pivot bearing 84, so that it can be adjusted between a holding position (shown in solid lines) and a release position (shown in dashed lines). The holding element 81 strikes in the release position, for example, on a stop 85. For example, the actuating arm 83 abuts against the stop 85, which is plate-like, for example. In the holding position, the form-locking projection 82 or the holding arm 88 engages in the form-fitting receptacle 57 a on the adjusting body 51, so that it is connected to the drive assembly 1 1.

The holding element 81 is acted upon by a spring arrangement 87 in the direction of the holding position. When the holding member 81 is moved to the release position, the spring assembly 87 is tensioned. For example, an actuating projection 86 is provided, which acts on the spring arrangement 87. The spring assembly 87 is supported on the one hand on the actuating projection 86, on the other hand on a holder 89, for example a receiving chamber, for the spring assembly 87 from. The holder 89 is provided fixed to the drive assembly 1 1.

Due to the spring load on the basis of the spring arrangement 87, the holding element

81 configured in the manner of a latching device or forms a latching element. Provided on the upper longitudinal end region 55 of the adjusting body 51 is an actuating contour 57, for example an actuating bevel, in order to deflect the holding element 81 in the direction of the release position, wherein the adjusting body 51 can then slide past the holding arm 88 until it reaches its positive locking projection

82 engages in the form-fitting receptacle 57a so to speak. Then the restoring spring device 85 is on the one hand between the drive Tiefeneinstellelements 60 and on the other hand relative to the drive Tiefeneinstellelement 60 no longer adjustable or fixed fixed adjustment body 51 so to speak firmly locked and thus ineffective or disabled. The operator can thus set a diving depth or cutting depth position ST without the restoring spring device 85 acting in the direction of the upper cutting depth position SO.

The adjusting body 51 and the drive Tiefeneinstellelements 60 thus form spring-holding elements for holding the return spring means 65 in a deactivation vierungsposition. The depth adjustment device 50 thus forms a spring deactivation device 76 in this function.

Structurally, the arrangement of the return spring device 65 in the Tiefeneinstelleinrichtung 50 has the advantage that as few components are necessary and the space is used optimally. For example, the return spring device 65 is not or barely in the way of suction of chips or the like.

It should be noted that, of course, at a different point a return spring device would be possible, which is exemplified by the reference shown in Figure 5 return spring means 165. This relies, for example, directly on the guide member 20 and the drive assembly 1 1 from. An additional guide, for example a guide sleeve or a guide rod, for the return spring means 165 is readily possible (not shown).

The adjusting body 51 is firmly connected to the drive assembly 1 1 by means of the drive-fastening device 80 and makes in the state connected to the drive assembly 1 1 their pivotal movements about the Tiefeneinstellachse TA. Thus, for example, a display scale 67 on the adjusting body 61 relative to an index 68 for use of the hand-ripper 10 without the guide rail 90 or a graded index 69 for the use of

Hand-separating machine 10 are adjusted with the guide rail 90. The indices 68, 69 together with the display scale 67 show the respective depths of cut. tion ST of the separating tool 14 with respect to the guide surface 27 at. As I said, while the return spring device 65 is deactivated, so does not bother the depth adjustment.

On the basis of the guide-fastening device 100, the adjusting body 51 with respect to the guide device 20, more precisely with respect to the drive carrier 40, fixed in place. This fixation or fixing is solvable. A retaining element 101 of the guide fastening device, like the retaining element 81, can engage from a holding position which positively holds the adjusting body 51, in which a toothing 102 engages a retaining arm 108 of the retaining element 101 in a complementary toothing 58 on the adjusting body 51, in particular its longitudinal side 53 a release position (indicated by an arrow P1 in Figure 6) are adjusted, in which the teeth 58, 102 do not mesh. Then the adjusting member 51 is adjustable relative to the guide device 20, namely displaceable.

The holding element 101 is pivotably mounted on a pivot bearing 104. From the holding arm 108 is an actuating arm 103, for example at right angles, from. The handling of the holding element 101 is facilitated by the fact that the actuating arm 103 is an abutment arm 43 opposite, so that an operator can take the actuating arm 103 and the abutment arm 43 with two fingers, for example, and move toward each other to the fixation of the adjusting body 51 with respect to the guide device 20th on the basis of the guide-fastening device 100 to solve, therefore, to actuate the holding member 101 in the release position. The actuating arm 103 and the abutment arm can thus be moved towards each other like a pliers (arrow P2).

The holding element 101 is acted upon by a spring arrangement 107 in the direction of the holding position. In the direction of the release position, the holding element 101, in particular its holding arm 108, abuts against a stop 105.

The holding elements 81, 101 are preferably designed in the manner of holding pawls. The toothing 102 is preferably at a free end or

Longitudinal portion of the support arm 108 is arranged. Thus, it can act with relatively high leverage on the counter-toothing 58, which allows a particularly firm grip. The toothings 58, 108 enable the adjusting body 51 to be fixed in different longitudinal positions relative to the guide depth adjusting element 70. The adjusting body 51 can therefore be immersed at different depths in the guide receptacle 72 and then fixed in each case with reference to the guide-fastening device 100 fixed relative to the guide device 20. Thus, therefore, many cutting depth positions can be defined. Of course, instead of the relatively fine corrugation or toothing 58, 108, a frictional engagement surface, a clamping surface or the like may also be provided, which likewise make a multiplicity of cutting depth positions adjustable.

It should be noted that, of course, an alternative to the drive-fastening means 80 drive-fastening means may comprise a clamping device.

Furthermore, in addition to the form-fitting receptacle 57a, at least one further form-fitting receptacle, a friction surface or the like may be provided as an abutment contour for the holding element 81 or an alternative holding element provided, for example, as a clamping element or frictionally engaging holding element.

The basis of the guide-fastening device 100 in different

Cut depth positions fixable adjusting body 51 preferably forms a stop, for operation of the manual cutting machine 10 as a dip saw or dip-cutting machine. The longitudinal end region 56, so to speak the head of the adjusting body 51, is positioned at the desired cutting depth, determined by means of the guide fastening device 100, so that it can represent a stop 56a for the drive assembly 11. For example, proposes the head 61 of the drive Tiefeneinstellelements 60 with its stop forming 61 a bottom on the adjusting body 51, the stop 56 a, to. The operator can therefore press the drive assembly 11 against the force of the return spring device 65 towards the guide device 20 and thus allow the cutting tool 14 to dip into the workpiece W. Finally, in the diving depth or cutting depth set in this way, the drive fastening device 80 engages in the adjusting body 51, so that the tool holder 13 is fixed in the cutting depth position defined by the guide fastening device 100 with respect to the guide device 20.

Of course, it is also possible, as an alternative, for this latching function to be overridden. For example, this is possible because the spring arrangement 87 can be deactivated by a holder, for example. Furthermore, it is also possible that the holding member 81 is configured in the manner of a bolt, i. manually moved or pivoted between the release position and the holding position and thus remains in the release position without Federkraftbeaufschlagung.

The guide-fastening device 100 and the drive-fastening device 80 each allow a locking of the drive assembly 1 1 in a respective cutting depth position ST relative to the guide means 20. The Tiefeneinstelleinrichtung 50 thus forms a fixing device 77 and a latching device 78 for fixing or locking the drive assembly 1 first in a respective cutting depth position ST with respect to the guide device 20.

It is also possible that in an inventive

Hand-ripper no movable adjusting body is provided in the manner of adjusting 51, but that so to speak the counter-locking contour is fixedly connected to the drive assembly or the guide means and cooperating with this counter-locking contour locking element, for example in the manner of holding elements 81 or 101, is provided.

The movable cover device 19 is designed in the manner of a pendulum hood. The cover 19 pivots about the axis of rotation D, so there is in one Pendulum or pivotal movement, the cutting tool 14 for introducing a separating cut T free.

The covering device 19 is, for example, adjustable from its closed position S shown in FIG. 10, in which it at least substantially completely covers the separating tool 14, into an open position O according to FIG. 1, which is at least partially open. Opening movement can be achieved, for example, by a front, free end region 120 of the covering device 19 abutting the workpiece W laterally. In the opposite direction, i. in the direction of the closed position S, preferably acts a spring arrangement, for example, the closing spring 135 mentioned below. As a result, the covering 19 expediently always covers the cutting tool 14 when not in use the hand-ripper 10.

Expediently, a type of fin or fin, in any case a cutting wedge or guide element 121, is arranged on the end region 120. The guide element 121, for example, dives into the separating slot T on the workpiece as if and thus ensures, in particular during operation without the guide rail 90, for a straight separating cut.

But it is also possible that an operator actuates the cover 19 manually from the closed position S in the open position O. For this purpose, an actuating device 130 is provided which has an actuating element 131 which can be manually actuated by an operator. The actuating element 131 has an actuating arm 132, which is designed in the manner of an actuating lever. The actuating arm 132 is pivotally mounted on a pivot bearing 133, wherein it pivots on actuation about the pivot bearing 133 and a driver lever 134 shown in solid lines, the closed position of the cover 19 associated position in a shown in dashed lines, the open position O the cover 19 can adjust assigned position. The driver lever 134 actuates a cable pull mechanism, not shown, which covers the cover 19 opens so to speak, so pressed into the open position. In the opposite direction acts a closing spring 135, for example, on the cam lever 134th
