A hand-held grinding tool comprises a casing 11 which contains a motor and a drive shaft. The drive shaft entrains a grinding disc 14 to accept the grinding sheet. An illuminating device 30 for lighting a working area is disposed on a front region 18 of the casing 11 which has at least one light-emitting diode (LED) 31. The illuminating device 30 in the hand-held grinding tool sufficiently illuminating the working surface, therefor a safe and accurate grinding is achieved even under a hard condition. |
