Abstract

The invention relates to a demolition hammer and/or hammer drill comprising a percussion generating device having a percussion piston moving axially back and forth. In a main percussion mode, the percussion piston impinges upon a tool which can move along a limited axial path straight into a main percussion direction. In a free percussion mode, the percussion piston indirectly impinges upon a percussion changing device, and by means thereof upon the tool, in a free percussion direction opposite to the main percussion direction. The impact surface of a tool shaft and the impact surface of a free percussion ram are placed opposite an impact surface of the percussion piston in such a way that the free percussion ram is removed from the effective area of the percussion piston by a return spring in the main percussion position. Under the effect of the return spring, the percussion ram is simultaneously supported on a gear member of the percussion changing device, which projects with an extension into the motion path of a stop surface provided in the tool. The stop surface reaches the extension when it has moved away from the effective area of the percussion piston in an idle running sta…
