A power grinder, in particular an oscillating grinder (10), having a housing (12) and a grinding sheet holder (14), on whose working face (15) a grinding sheet (16) to be received is braced, and its reception is effected by means of clamping means (20, 23) that lock opposite grinding sheet ends (17, 19) to the grinding sheet holder (14), is made easier to operate, and its machining capacity is improved, by providing that for equipping it with the grinding sheet, the clamping means (20, 23) are movable jointly with a grinding sheet end (17) clamped to them away from the opposite, likewise clamped grinding sheet end (19), so that the latter is locked, while under tensile stress.
