Abstract: The invention relates to a guiding cart for a manually guided tool, for example an abrasive cut-off machine, which comprises a movable frame on which a first and a second locating recess for inserting the abrasive cut-off machine are provided. A locking device is assigned to the first recess by means of which forces can be applied to the abrasive cut-off machine in the direction of the first locating recess and the second locating recess. In this way the abrasive cut-off machine can be reliably and rapidly fixed to the guiding cart after it has been inserted into the locating recesses. The insertion of the abrasive cut-off machine is facilitated by inclined inserting elements situated in the locating recesses.
