Hand-Guided Power Tool

A hand-guided power tool comprising:

• a drive motor;
• a drive element connected to the drive motor and driven in rotation by the drive motor;
• a working tool connected to the drive element and driven by the drive element;
• a braking device correlated with the drive element, wherein the braking device in a first state, in which the braking device is applied, blocks the drive element and in a second state, in which the braking device is released, releases the drive element so that the drive elements can rotate freely;
• wherein the braking device comprises a brake lever;
• wherein the braking device comprises a sensor that detects the first and second states of the braking device;
• a control unit;
• wherein an output signal of the sensor as a state signal of the first state or the second state is supplied to the control unit;
• and
• wherein the control unit, based on the state signal, controls devices of the power tool.
