A system for analysis of operation of a hand-guided working apparatus, wherein the working apparatus includes a working tool and a drive system for driving the working tool, includes an optical recording device configured for recording a temporal succession of images of a working procedure on a workpiece using the working tool, an identification device configured for identifying a temporal succession of operational data values of the drive system during recording of the temporal succession of images, and at least one output device configured for outputting in each case at least one of the recorded images together with at least one identified operational data value correlated in time thereto.

System for analyzing operation of a hand-guided working apparatus and method for analyzing operation of a hand-guided working apparatus

A method is for the safe starting of a combustion engine in a handheld, portable work apparatus. When starting, start rpm limiting is activated when the rotational speed of the combustion engine exceeds an activation rotational speed that lies above the coupling rotational speed of a centrifugal coupling. After activating the start rpm limiting for at least one working cycle, an intervention in the ignition is carried out such that the rotational speed of the combustion engine decreases. After the rotational speed has decreased below a lower engagement rotational speed, an intervention in the ignition is carried out such that the rotational speed increases. If the rotational speed exceeds an upper engagement rotational speed, an intervention in the ignition is again carried out such that the rotational speed decreases. The upper engagement rotational speed and/or the lower engagement rotational speed is/are changed with an increasing number of consecutive working cycles.

Method for starting a combustion engine

A handheld work apparatus has a combustion engine and an ignition device for controlling a spark plug. The ignition device includes an electronic control device having a short circuit button for switching off the combustion engine. A temperature sensor is for capturing an operating temperature. The short circuit button and the temperature sensor are connected to a common signal input of the control device via a common signal line. The temperature sensor is an ohmic resistance variable on the basis of the temperature. A measurement voltage dropped across the resistance of the temperature sensor is supplied, as an analog temperature signal, to a common analog signal input of the control device. The measurement voltage at the temperature sensor collapses in the button position of the short circuit button, as a result of which the analog temperature signal applied to the analog signal input of the control device is extinguished.
