Abstract
A brushcutter has a supporting tube having a first end and a second end with a drive motor arranged at the first end and a cutterhead mounted on the second end. A handle is mounted on the supporting tube for manipulating the brushcutter. The handle has a tubular-shaped handle portion which can be attached to the supporting tube without first disassembling the latter from the motor or the cutterhead. This is achieved configuring the tubular-shaped handle portion to be made of two clamshells which conjointly define a partition plane in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the supporting tube. One of the clamshells holds all control components and is directly mounted on the supporting tube by means of a pipe clamp. The other clamshell is laterally attached to the first clamshell.
