MANUALLY OPERATED WORK DEVICE

A work apparatus has a first and a second assembly. The second assembly is mounted movably in relation to the first assembly via at least one antivibration element. Formed between the first assembly and the second assembly is a vibration gap, which is bridged by the antivibration element. The work apparatus has a switch, for actuation by an operator, which includes a first contact element and a second contact element. When the switch is closed, the first contact element and the second contact element contact each other. When the switch is open, the first and second contact element do not establish an electrically conductive contact. The second contact element is part of the second assembly. The first contact element is part of the first assembly and, when the switch is closed, the first contact element and the second contact element bridge the vibration gap between the first and second assembly. 种工作器械，具有第结构组和第二结构组，其中，第二结构组相对第结构组经由至少个抗振元件被可移动地支承。在第结构组与第二结构组之间构成振动间隙，其被至少个抗振元件跨接。该工作器械具有至少个待由操作者操纵的开关，其包括至少个第接触元件和
