Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1612002A1] A power sander (2) has a housing (4) supporting a mounting platen (6) for supporting a sanding head for oscillatory orbital motion of the platen (6) and sanding head relative to the housing. The housing has side surfaces, a curved front surface (14) containing an on/off switch (16) for switching electrical power to a motor in the housing, a curved upper surface (20) and a generally saddle shaped graspable surface (22) located between the front surface and upper surface. For ergonomic handling of the sander by a user, the saddle shaped graspable surface has a concave upper portion (24) and concave side portions (26) arranged on opposite sides of the upper portion.
