Abstract

The invention is based on a hand power tool having an electric motor (12) located in a housing (10), via which an insertable tool (16) situated in a tool mount (14) is capable of being driven in a rotating manner, and having a safety device (18) with which a characteristic value for an occurrence of uncontrolled blockage of the insertable tool (16) can be detected via a sensor unit (20), and the movement of the housing (10) can be decelerated.It is proposed that the safety device (18) is formed at least partially by a motor control unit (22), via which the electric motor (12) can be actively decelerated when an occurrence of uncontrolled blockage of the insertable tool (16) is detected.
