Abstract
The invention is directed to a starter arrangement for a brushcutter which is driven by an engine mounted in a housing and secured to the one end of a carrying tube. A shaft accommodated in the carrying tube couples the engine to a transmission of a cutting tool provided at the other end of the carrying tube. The drive shaft is operatively connected with the starter arrangement which includes a starter grip. The starter grip is provided on the carrying tube within convenient reach of the operator. The brushcutter is suspended from the shoulder during use and can be started simply and readily by the operator without having to first take off the brushcutter or otherwise change its position.
