Portable handheld work apparatus

摘要

A portable handheld work apparatus has an internal combustion engine ( 5 ) having a cylinder ( 8 ) and a crankcase ( 13 ). The cylinder ( 8 ) has an opening ( 19 ) for exhaust gases whereat an exhaust-gas muffler ( 14 ) is mounted. The exhaust-gas muffler ( 14 ) is mounted on the cylinder ( 8 ) at least at one attachment location ( 40, 41 ) and at least a further attachment location ( 42 ) on the internal combustion engine ( 5 ). A reduced weight of the work apparatus and a low mechanical load of the exhaust-gas muffler ( 14 ) can be achieved when the exhaust-gas muffler is fixed at at least one of the attachment locations ( 42 ) via a connection which permits a limited relative movement between the exhaust-gas muffler ( 14 ) and the internal combustion engine ( 5 ) in at least one direction.
