Abstract
A manually operated tool such as a parting-off grinder, chainsaw or similar device has a tank housing which contains a fuel tank. The tool has an air cleaning unit, the tank housing being connected to the clean air side of the air cleaning unit via a bleed device. A simple design in which leaks are avoided results if a reservoir wall of the tank housing and a housing wall of the air cleaning unit are positioned adjacent to one another and the bleed device comprises a bleed opening which passes through the reservoir wall and the housing wall.
