Abstract: A hand power tool has a housing and a cutting tool bit, as well as a guard, which embraces the tool bit and is coupleable to the housing and axially adjustable relative to it, wherein the housing and the guard means, in a first adjusting position, are positionable axially freely and in a second adjusting position, guided by an adjusting element are positionable axially finely and lockably to one another, wherein the adjusting element is configured to prevent free axial displacement of the guard in the second adjusting position.

Abstract: A hand power tool, having a housing (12) and a tool bit (15), in particular a metal-cutting tool bit, as well as having a guard means (22), which embraces the tool bit (15) and is coupleable to the housing (12) and axially adjustable relative to it, is made easy to manipulate in setting the cutting depth by providing that the housing (12) and the guard means (22), in a first adjusting position, are positionable axially freely and in a second adjusting position, in particular guided by adjusting means, are positionable axially finely adjustably to one another, in particular lockably.
