Abstract: An exhaust-gas muffler (1) has a housing (2) through which at least one sleeve (11) projects. At one end, the sleeve (11) has an attachment opening (10) and at the opposite-lying end has an access opening (14). To avoid a contamination of the sleeve (11) during operation, a plug (15, 25, 35, 40, 45, 55) of a pressed metal wire is arranged in the access opening (14).

Abstract: A manually guided implement having an internal combustion engine and a carburetor for supplying the engine with a fuel/air mixture is provided. A combustion air stream is drawn in through the carburetor by the engine. A warming medium heated up by the engine can be passed along the outer surfaces of the carburetor separate from the combustion air stream.

Abstract: The invention relates to a vibration damper between a housing (4), which holds an internal combustion engine, and a handle (3) fixed on the housing (4). The handle (3) is for holding and guiding the motor-driven chain saw (2) during use thereof. The vibration damper (1) is a coil spring (5) which is fixed at a first end (10) thereof with an attachment element (7) to the handle (3) and, at a second end (20), the coil spring is fixed with a further attachment element (30) to the housing. A part turn of the end (10, 20) of the coil spring (5) is held form-tightly to the attachment element (7, 30) in the direction of its longitudinal center axis (25). To provide a torsion-free assembly of the coil spring, it is provided that the coil spring (5) can be assembled from one of its ends (20) between the handle (3) and the housing (4) and be secured at least at one of its ends (20) to the attachment element (30) against a rotational movement in the peripheral direction.
