ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a rearward handle arrangement for a handheld portable tool defining a horizontal axis and having a motor housing and a forward handle fixedly attached to the housing so as to permit two-handed operation of the tool by an operator. The rearward handle arrangement includes: a carrier part for attaching the rearward handle arrangement to the housing of the tool; a rearward handle; and, a bearing journal for rotatably journalling the rearward handle in the carrier part so as to permit the rearward handle to rotate about the horizontal axis relative to the carrier part and the forward handle. The carrier part and the reaward handle conjointly define an interface and an unlatchable detent is disposed at this interface for self-latching the rearward handle on the carrier part at any one of a plurality of predetermined angular positions about the horizontal axis. These angular positions correspond to respective work positions in which the tool can be held by the operator.
