A power tool, especially an angle grinder, includes at least one grip housing, at least one switching unit that has at least one latch element arranged on the grip housing, and at least one bearing unit configured to mount the latch element such that it is mobile at least with respect to the grip housing. When the latch element is actuated, the bearing unit is configured to guarantee a stroke movement of the latch element along a trajectory of a value greater zero, starting from an end of the latch element closer to the connecting region of the grip housing in the direction of an end of the latch element away from the connecting region, which end is configured to be gripped.
