Abstract
The disclosure relates to a handheld work apparatus, wherein the work apparatus includes a housing, a drive motor for driving a tool, and a handle disposed on the housing. A contour is provided on the handle and a counter contour is provided on the housing. In the inoperative position of the handle, a minimum friction torque (M) which acts about the pivot axis is provided between the handle and the housing. In the operative position of the handle, the contour and the counter contour are operatively connected in such a manner that a further friction torque (M) which acts about the pivot axis is present between the handle and the housing. The further friction torque (M) in the operative position is greater than the minimum friction torque (M) in the inoperative position.
