Abstract
A handheld, portable work apparatus includes a housing defining an interior space, a drive motor arranged in the housing for driving a tool, a brake device assigned to the tool, a hand guard, and a switching unit which is arranged in the interior space of the housing for detecting the position of the brake device. The hand guard is arranged outside the housing and has an actuation contour for actuating the switching unit. The housing has an elastic element. The hand guard, the elastic element and the switching unit are arranged relative to one another such that the switching unit can be actuated by the elastic element being pushed in via the actuation contour of the hand guard.
