Abstract
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.
