Abstract

A power-tool system includes at least one power-tool parting device including at least one cutting strand and at least one guide unit configured to guide the at least one cutting strand. The power tool system further includes at least one portable power tool including (i) a housing, (ii) a drive unit supported by the housing, (iii) at least one coupling device configured to operatively connect the at least one power-tool parting device to the drive unit, and (iv) at least one power-tool stabilization device including at least one stabilization element that is integrally formed with the housing and defines at least one support face configured to stabilize the at least one power-tool parting device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A power-tool system comprising:
at least one power-tool parting device including at least one cutting strand and at least one guide unit configured to guide the at least one cutting strand;
at least one portable power tool including (i) a housing, (ii) a drive unit supported by the housing, (iii) at least one coupling device configured to operatively connect the at least one power-tool parting device to the drive unit, and (iv) at least one power-tool stabilization device including at least one stabilization element that is integrally formed with the housing and defines at least one support face configured to stabilize the at least one power-tool parting device; and
a seating unit supported by the housing and defining a seating face configured to seat on a workpiece,
wherein the seating face defines a seating plane, and
wherein the at least one power-tool stabilization device is located on only one side of the seating plane.

2. The power-tool system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one power-tool stabilization device is configured to stabilize the at least one power-tool parting device, when the at least one power-tool stabilization device is coupled to the at least one coupling device, as viewed along a direction that faces away from the at least one portable power tool, in a region of the at least one power-tool parting device disposed outside of the at least one coupling device, along a direction that runs at least substantially perpendicularly in relation to a cutting plane of the at least one cutting strand.

3. The power-tool system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:
the at least one power-tool stabilization device includes at least one further stabilization element that is integrally formed with the housing and defines at least one further support face configured to stabilize the at least one power-tool parting device,
the at least one stabilization element is located on a first side of the at least one guide unit,
the at least one further stabilization element is located on a second side of the at least one guide unit, and
the second side is opposite of the first side.

4. A power tool comprising:
a housing;
a drive unit supported by the housing;
at least one power-tool parting device supported by the housing and including at least one cutting strand and at least one guide unit configured to guide the at least one cutting strand;
at least one coupling device configured to operatively connect the at least one power-tool parting device to the drive unit; and
at least one power-tool stabilization device including a first stabilization element that is integrally formed with the housing as a monolithic piece and a second stabilization element that is integrally formed with the housing as a monolithic piece,
wherein the first stabilization element defines a first support face configured to stabilize the at least one guide unit from moving in a first direction,
wherein the second stabilization element defines a second support face configured to stabilize the at least one guide unit from moving in a second direction, and
wherein the second direction is opposite of the first direction.

5. The power tool as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the at least one power-tool stabilization device is configured to stabilize the at least one power-tool parting device, when the at least one power-tool stabilization device is coupled to the at least one coupling device, as viewed along a direction that faces away from the housing, in a region of the at least one power-tool parting device disposed outside of the at least one coupling device, along a direction that runs at least substantially perpendicularly in relation to a cutting plane of the at least one cutting strand.

6. The power tool as claimed in claim 4 , wherein:
the first support face is located on a first side of the at least one guide unit,
the second support face is located on a second side of the at least one guide unit, and
the second side is opposite of the first side.

7. The power tool as claimed in claim 4 , further comprising:
a seating unit supported by the housing and defining a seating face configured to seat on a workpiece,
wherein the seating face defines a seating plane, and
wherein the at least one power-tool stabilization device is located on only one side of the seating plane.

8. A power tool comprising:
a housing;
a drive unit supported by the housing;
at least one power-tool parting device supported by the housing and including at least one cutting strand and at least one guide unit configured to guide the at least one cutting strand;
at least one coupling device configured to operatively connect the at least one power-tool parting device to the drive unit; and
at least one power-tool stabilization device supported by the housing and including a first stabilization element and a second stabilization element, the first stabilization element defining a first support face configured to bear against the at least one guide unit and located on a first side of the at least one guide unit, and the second stabilization element defining a second support face configured to bear against the at least one guide unit and located on a second side of the at least one guide unit that is opposite of the first side.

9. The power tool as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the at least one power-tool stabilization device is configured to stabilize the at least one power-tool parting device as viewed along a direction that faces away from the power tool, in a region of the at least one power-tool parting device disposed outside of the at least one coupling device, along a direction that runs at least substantially perpendicularly in relation to a cutting plane of the at least one cutting strand.

10. The power tool as claimed in claim 8 , further comprising:
a seating unit supported by the housing and defining a seating face configured to seat on a workpiece,
wherein the seating face defines a seating plane, and
wherein the at least one power-tool stabilization device is located on only one side of the seating plane.

11. The power tool as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the first and second stabilization elements are integrally formed with the housing as a monolithic piece.
