Abstract
The invention relates to a method and to an apparatus for operating a power source () connected to a manually actuated implement () by a user, wherein parameters of the power source () are set by way of operating elements () of an operating and display unit () and a movement of the implement () in the space is captured by way of an evaluation unit () disposed in the power source (). In order to enable fast and rapid operation of the power source (), even without removing a potentially present protective clothing of the user, it is provided for an operating function to be activated at the power source (), whereupon the movement of the implement () in the space () is captured and a position of the implement () resulting from the movement is associated with the operating and display unit ().
