摘要

A power tool comprising: a housing; a cable outlet with a central axis; an motor; a flexible electrical supply cable; a cable sheath for protecting supply cable projected through the cable outlet and for directing unprotected supply cable away from the central axis wherein the sheath is rotatable to change direction of unprotected supply cable; and locking means for locking the sheath in one of a plurality of rotational orientations. The locking means comprises: a receiving member connected to one of the sheath or the cable outlet; an engaging member connected to the other of the sheath or the cable outlet; and a biasing means for biasing the engaging and receiving members into engagement to lock the sheath in a rotational orientation, wherein movement of the sheath against the biasing means disengages the engaging and receiving members and unlocks the sheath for rotation.
