A mobile machine tool, namely a manually-operated machine tool (10) or semi-stationary machine tool (10), for machining a workpiece (W), wherein the machine tool (10) has a plate-like guide element (30) with a guide surface (32) for guiding the machine tool (10) on the workpiece (W) or the workpiece (W) on the machine tool (10), wherein the machine tool (10) has a drive unit (11) with a drive motor (13) for driving a tool holder (14) arranged on the drive unit (11), wherein the machine tool (10) is provided with a tool sensor arrangement (61, 62) for detecting a workpiece contact region in which a work tool (15) arranged on the tool holder (14), is in contact with the workpiece (W). The tool sensor arrangement (61, 62) comprises at least two tool sensors (61, 62), the detection ranges of which (EB1, EB2) are assigned to different partial workpiece contact regions (WK1, WK2) of the workpiece contact region.
