Abstract
The invention relates to a portable handheld work apparatus having a movable control element (1) for influencing the operation of the work apparatus. The work apparatus includes an actuable positioning element (2) and a Bowden cable (3) connecting the positioning element (2) and the control element (1). The Bowden cable (3) includes a Bowden cable casing (4) and a wire (5) guided in the casing (4) so as to be axially movable. The Bowden cable casing (4) is held at its two ends (6, 7) in support locations (8, 9) with respective longitudinal stops (10, 11). The support locations (8, 9) are fixed with respect to the apparatus. An adjusting device (12) is provided between the ends (6, 7) of the Bowden cable sleeve (4) and the corresponding support locations (8, 9). The adjusting device (12) has a holding element (14) which holds the end (6, 7) and is fixed to the support location. The holding element (14) can be loosened to axially displace the ends (6, 7).
