Manually guided implement and method of producing a brake mechanism of a manually guided implement

摘要

A manually guided implement having a tool and a brake mechanism for the tool. The brake mechanism includes a brake band that is looped about a brake drum. The brake band and the brake drum form abrasion partners that cooperate with one another during a braking process. At least one of the abrasion partners has a coating. The coating is provided with diamond particles that are embedded in a matrix that contains nickel. The coating is effected in a nickel bath in which the diamond particles are dispersed.
