Work apparatus

摘要

A work apparatus has a drive motor for driving a work tool and has a control unit for the drive motor. The operating device includes an actuating element actuated by a user. The actuating element is mounted in a movable manner in a housing and can be adjusted in an actuating direction between a zero position and a maximum position. An intermediate stop acts between the zero position and the maximum position. The position of the intermediate stop is settable via a setting element. After the intermediate stop has been reached, the actuating element can be actuated further as far as the maximum position. The operating force (F) for further actuating the actuating element increases when the intermediate stop is reached. Provision is made for the operating force (F) to drop again upon further actuation of the actuating element after the intermediate stop has been overcome.

1. A work apparatus comprising:
a work tool; a drive motor configured to drive said work tool; a control unit for said drive motor having an actuating element for actuation by a user; a housing; said actuating element having an actuating direction and being movably mounted in said housing via an application of an actuating force (F); said actuating element being configured to be displaceable from a zero position up to a maximum position; a setting element; an intermediate stop configured to act at a position between said zero position and said maximum position; said setting element being configured to set said position of said intermediate stop; and, said actuating element being further configured to interact with said intermediate stop so as to cause said actuating force (F) to increase when said actuating element reaches said intermediate stop and decrease once said intermediate stop is overcome with further actuation of said actuating element toward said maximum position.
