  • Portable handheld work apparatus and method of making the same
    Patent number: 8607760
    Abstract: A portable handheld work apparatus has at least one work tool which is driven by an internal combustion engine (2).

The crankcase sump (28) is made of metal and is injection molded into the housing component (4) of the work apparatus. The engine (2) has an ignition unit which includes an ignition module (31).
