The invention is based on a machine tool, in particular a circular power saw, for machining a workpiece, having a covering ( 10 ) for guarding a user against machining residues of the workpiece that occur in operation and having an adjustable residue guide ( 12, 14 ) for carrying away at least some of the machining residues through an outlet opening in a defined direction in accordance with the position of the residue guide ( 12, 14 ). It is proposed that the residue guide is adjustable in such a way that in one position of the residue guide ( 12, 14 ), at least some of the machining residues are carried onward inside the covering ( 10 ).
