Abstract

A tool device, in particular a saw device, having a tool for processing a workpiece located in a working area. The tool device includes a tool braking device for braking a tool rotary movement of the tool, and a multi-joint arrangement by means of which the tool can be pivoted selectively in a feed direction into the working area or in a removal direction out of the working area. The multi-joint arrangement is designed to, while maintaining the pivotability of the tool, absorb and/or redirect forces occurring during braking of the tool rotary movement, so that the tool is not pivoted in the feed direction by the forces occurring during braking of the tool rotary movement or is pivoted in the removal direction by the forces occurring during braking of the tool rotary movement.
