The invention discloses a visual orientation device for a handheld tool. The visual orientation device comprises a shell, and four pairs of projectors arranged around a cutter of the handheld tool inthe shell for projecting four pairs of stripes, parallel to each other and perpendicular to respective optical axes, on a working plane of the cutter. The handheld tool with the visual orientation device can conveniently and directly determine if the cutter is perpendicular to the working plane in a visualization mode before and in use, so that the working efficiency is improved, the working quality is guaranteed, and the equipment damage is reduced.
