The implement has a first control device, for controlling engine power, that includes a throttle lever, a butterfly valve in the carburetor, a connecting element for operatively connecting the throttle lever and butterfly valve, and a restoring spring for automatically closing the butterfly valve in an uncoupled state of the connecting element. The implement also has a second control device for terminating ignition and for uncoupling the connecting element to uncouple the operative connection of the throttle valve and the butterfly valve.
