Hand-guided work apparatus

A hand-guided work apparatus comprising:

• a work tool;
• an operator-controlled handle;
• a motor configured to drive said work tool;
• the hand-guided work apparatus defining a longitudinal direction extending in a direction from said operator-controlled handle to said work tool;
• said work tool defining a work tool plane;
• an air filter component for filtering cooling air for cooling said motor;
• wherein the work apparatus is configured to be set down in a set-down position on a horizontal plane;
• the work apparatus having a base which faces the horizontal plane in the set-down position;
• a housing cover disposed opposite said base, wherein the work apparatus has a side surface which connects said housing cover and said base to each other and which delimits the work apparatus in the longitudinal direction in a direction perpendicular to said work tool plane;
• said air filter component being arranged on said side surface;
• said air filter component having a filter's longitudinal extent in the longitudinal direction;
• wherein an imaginary tangential plane, which extends in said set-down position perpendicularly to the horizontal plane, is tangent to said side surface only in a region of said filter's longitudinal extent;
• said imaginary tangential plane intersecting with said work tool plane;
• said filter's longitudinal extent including a front half and a back half with respect to the longitudinal direction, wherein said front half with respect to the longitudinal direction is arranged in front of said back half;
• wherein said imaginary tangential plane is tangent to said side surface in a region of said back half of said filter's longitudinal extent of said air filter component;
• and,
• said imaginary tangential plane intersecting with said work tool plane with respect to the longitudinal direction in front of a region of said filter's longitudinal extent.
