Hand-guided garden, forestry and/or construction working apparatus and method for a hand-guided garden, forestry and/or construction working apparatus

A hand-guided garden, forestry and/or construction working apparatus, comprising:

• an apparatus operator control element which is activatable by a user,
• wherein the garden, forestry and/or construction working apparatus has an inactive state, an active state and a variable setting;
• a drive motor, wherein the drive motor is configured to drive the garden, forestry and/or construction working apparatus;
• and
• a motor operator control element which is activatable by a user,
• wherein, in the inactive state, the garden, forestry and/or construction working apparatus is configured to be transferred into the active state triggered by activation of the apparatus operator control element,
• wherein, in the active state, the garden, forestry and/or construction working apparatus is configured to change the variable setting and not to be transferred into the inactive state triggered by the activation of the apparatus operator control element,
• wherein, in the active state, the garden, forestry and/or construction working apparatus is configured to operate the drive motor in accordance with activation of the motor operator control element, and, in the inactive state, is configured not to operate the drive motor irrespective of the activation of the motor operator control element, and
• wherein the garden, forestry and/or construction working apparatus is configured not to operate the drive motor by the motor operator control element in the active state if the motor operator control element has been activated before the garden, forestry and/or construction working apparatus is transferred from the inactive state into the active state.

A method of operating a hand-guided garden, forestry and/or construction working apparatus having an inactive state, an active state and a variable setting, wherein the method comprises the steps of:

• a) in the inactive state of the garden, forestry and/or construction working apparatus, transferring into the active state triggered by activation of an apparatus operator control element;
• b) in the active state of the garden, forestry and/or construction working apparatus, changing the variable setting and not-transferring into the inactive state triggered by the activation of the apparatus operator control element;
• c) in the active state of the garden, forestry and/or construction working apparatus, operating a drive motor in accordance with activation of a motor operator control element, and, in the inactive state, not operating the drive motor irrespective of the activation of the motor operator control element, and
• d) not changing the variable setting when the motor operator control element is activated, and changing the variable setting when the motor operator control element is not activated.

A method of operating a hand-guided garden, forestry and/or construction working apparatus having an inactive state, an active state and a variable setting, wherein the method comprises the steps of:

• a) in the inactive state of the garden, forestry and/or construction working apparatus, transferring into the active state triggered by activation of an apparatus operator control element;
• b) in the active state of the garden, forestry and/or construction working apparatus, changing the variable setting and not-transferring into the inactive state triggered by the activation of the apparatus operator control element;
• c) in the active state of the garden, forestry and/or construction working apparatus, operating a drive motor in accordance with activation of a motor operator control element, and, in the inactive state, not operating the drive motor irrespective of the activation of the motor operator control element, and
• d) not operating the drive motor by the motor operating control element in the active state if the motor operator control element has been activated before the garden, forestry and/or construction working apparatus is transferred from the inactive state into the active state.
