Abstract

A handheld machine saw having a saw assembly, which has a saw toolholder for a saw tool and a saw drive motor for driving the saw toolholder, and having a guide device, which has a guide body having a guide surface extending along a longitudinal axis for guiding the handheld machine saw along a working direction on a workpiece or a guide rail, wherein the handheld machine saw has a scoring assembly, which is arranged in front of the saw assembly on the guide device with respect to the working direction, having a scorer toolholder for a scoring tool and having a scoring drive for driving the scorer toolholder, wherein a score upstream from the saw cut to be introduced in the working direction can be introduced into the workpiece by means of the scoring tool protruding in front of the guide surface in scoring operation of the handheld machine tool.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1 . A handheld machine plunge saw having a saw assembly, wherein the saw assembly has a saw toolholder for a saw tool, the saw assembly further having a saw drive motor for driving the saw toolholder, the saw assembly further having a guide device, wherein the guide device has a guide body having a guide surface, the guide surface extending along a longitudinal axis for guiding the handheld machine plunge saw along a working direction on a workpiece or a guide rail, wherein a saw cut can be introduced along the working direction into the workpiece by means of the saw tool protruding below the guide surface in a direction toward the workpiece in a sawing operation of the handheld machine plunge saw tool, wherein the handheld machine plunge saw has a scoring assembly, wherein the scoring assembly is arranged in front of the saw assembly on the guide device with respect to the working direction, the scoring assembly having a scorer toolholder for a scoring tool, and the scoring assembly having a scorer drive for driving the scorer toolholder, wherein a score upstream from the saw cut to be introduced in the working direction can be introduced into the workpiece by means of the scoring tool protruding below the guide surface in the direction toward the workpiece in a scoring operation of the handheld machine plunge saw tool, wherein the saw toolholder and the scorer toolholder are arranged on an upper side of the guide body adjacent to a free long side of the guide body, the upper side of the guide body being opposite to the guide surface in a direction away from the workpiece, and the free long side of the guide body defining an outermost lateral edge of the guide body extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the guide body, so that the saw tool arranged on the saw toolholder and the scoring tool arranged on the scorer toolholder are disposed laterally outwardly past the free long side of the guide body with respect to the longitudinal axis and protrude below the guide surface in the direction toward the workpiece directly adjacent to the free long side of the guide body, and
wherein the saw toolholder and the scorer toolholder are pivotably mounted on the guide device around a miter axis by means of a miter bearing arrangement, the miter axis extending directly adjacent and in parallel to the free long side of the guide body such that the saw tool and the scorer tool pivot around the free long side of the guide body and directly adjacent to the free long side, and
wherein the saw toolholder is movably mounted on or with respect to the guide device by means of a saw depth setting bearing whereby the saw toolholder is pivotable about the saw depth setting bearing between an upper depth setting position and at least one lower depth setting position, wherein the saw tool protrudes farther below the guide surface in the direction toward the workpiece in the lower depth setting position than in the upper depth setting position, and
wherein the scorer toolholder is movably mounted on or with respect to the guide device by means of a scorer depth setting bearing, wherein the scorer depth setting bearing is separate from the saw depth setting bearing, and wherein the scorer toolholder is pivotable about the scorer depth setting bearing between at least one active position, in which the scoring tool arranged on the scorer toolholder protrudes from the guide surface, and an inactive position, in which the scoring tool is adjusted behind the guide surface, and
wherein the saw depth setting bearing is arranged behind the saw toolholder in the working direction, and
wherein the scorer depth setting bearing is disposed in front of the saw tool holder but behind the scorer toolholder in the working direction.

2 . The handheld machine plunge saw as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a protective housing, the protective housing having a cover wall covering a substantial portion of both the saw tool and the scoring tool when the saw tool is in the lower depth setting position and the scorer tool is in the at least one active position, and
wherein the free long side of the guide body is opposite to the cover wall of the protective housing, wherein the saw tool and and/or the scoring tool are arranged between the free long side of the guide body and the cover wall.

3 . The handheld machine plunge saw as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the cover wall forms an outermost transverse side wall of the protective housing of the handheld machine plunge saw, wherein the guide body does not protrude transversely beyond the cover wall with respect to the longitudinal axis.

4 . The handheld machine plunge saw as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the free long side of the guide body and an edge region of the cover wall opposite to the free long side delimit a recess, wherein the recess is open in the direction toward the workpiece, and wherein the saw tool and/or the scoring tool can protrude out of the protective housing through the recess.

5 . The handheld machine plunge saw as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the cover wall has an obliquely inclined wall section on an edge region of the cover wall, the edge region being opposite to the free long side of the guide body, the edge region being inclined obliquely relative to the free long side of the guide body with respect to the guide surface.

6 . The handheld machine plunge saw as claimed in claim 2 , wherein at least one viewing window is arranged on the cover wall, and at least a part of the scoring tool and/or a part of the saw tool is/are visible through the viewing window.

7 . The handheld machine plunge saw as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the at least one viewing window is arranged on an edge region of the cover wall opposite to the guide body, and the saw tool and/or the scoring tool protrudes in a saw operation of the handheld machine saw in front of the guide body.

8 . The handheld machine plunge saw as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the at least one viewing window has a longitudinal extension such that a part of the saw tool and a part of the scoring tool opposite thereto are visible through the viewing window.

9 . The handheld machine plunge saw as claimed in claim 6 , wherein a cover element is movably mounted on the at least one viewing window between an open position exposing the viewing window and a cover position covering the viewing window by means of a bearing.

10 . The handheld machine plunge saw as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the cover element is at least partially transparent or translucent, so that the working region of the saw tool or scoring tool is visible through the cover element in the cover position of the cover element, and/or wherein the cover element comprises a plate body or is formed a plate body.

11 . The handheld machine plunge saw as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the cover element has a scoring tool section for covering a part of the scoring tool and a saw tool section for covering a part of the saw tool, wherein the scoring tool section and the saw tool section have different surface areas and/or lengths.

12 . The handheld machine plunge saw as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one protective housing is arranged on the free long side of the guide body and wherein the at least one protective housing accommodates a section of the saw tool and/or scoring tool respectively, which section of the saw tool and/or scoring tool does/do not protrude in front of the guide surface in the direction toward the workpiece to be processed.

13 . The handheld machine plunge saw as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the at least one protective housing protrudes transversely to the longitudina
