A hand-held power tool, more particularly a router, includes (i) a housing in which a drive unit for driving an insertion tool is disposed; (ii) a base plate for guiding the hand-held power tool on a workpiece surface, the base plate being height-adjustable on the housing, and the base plate having an opening, through which the insertion tool at least partly extends; and (iii) a height adjustment device for setting a working height of the base plate on the housing relative to the insertion tool. A setting aid is provided which allows height adjustment of a bottom of the base plate by way of the height adjustment device such that said bottom is flush with a predefined cutting edge of the insertion tool.
