A centrifugal clutch is provided, especially for manually-guided, motor-driven implements such as chainsaws and the like. The clutch comprises centrifugal bodies, each of which is essentially comprised of a shoe that has the shape of a circular arc and has a support member. The shoes are held and guided by guides on a carrier member that is disposed on the drive side. On the output side, the clutch is essentially formed of a drum having a surface that axially and radially spans the centrifugal bodies. Disposed at each end of a centrifugal body is a projection and a complementary recess, which both extend approximately tangentially relative to the drum.
