Abstract
A positioning aid (1) for a hand tool device (3) driving tool (2), in a working direction (A), with a distance measuring system (4) mounted thereon. The distance measuring system (4) has at least one distance measuring sensor (5) for measuring the distance from the distance measuring sensor (5) to an object (6), along a line of measurement (M, M′, M″), and a computing unit (7) for comparing the measured value with a pre-selected desired value (S) and for producing a signal dependent on the comparison, wherein the line of measurement (M, M′) is oriented at least partially perpendicular to the working direction (A).
