A first connecting stub (&#x2032;) is fixed within the sealing rim () on the base plate () and has a pull-off protector (). The pull-off protector () is at a distance (e) to the base plate () perpendicularly to the plane of the base plate () which is greater than the distance (f) of the lower edge () of the sealing rim () to the base plate (). The lower edge () faces away from the base plate ().

Hose connector and portable handheld work apparatus

A hedge trimmer has a tool that is driven by a drive unit. At least one vibration-dampened handle is secured to the drive unit. The handle comprises a one-piece component having a grip portion and a mounting portion for mounting on the drive unit. To simplify mounting of the handle, the grip portion and the mounting portion are interconnected by a vibration-dampening intermediate portion. The mounting portion along with the intermediate portion and the grip portion form the one-piece or monolithic component.
