  • Publication number: 20100206278
    Abstract: A power cutter including a two stroke internal combustion engine mounted within a housing and a carburetor for providing aerated fuel for the engine. The carburetor is capable of operating in at least two modes of operation, a first mode when the engine is cold and a second mode when the engine is hot. A temperature sensor is mounted on the engine and provides an engine controller with a signal which is a function of the temperature of the engine; the carburetor comprising an electrically controlled cold start mechanism which switches the carburetor between its two modes of operation, wherein, when the electronic controller determines that the engine is cold, it provides an electrical signal to the electrically controlled cold start mechanism to cause it to change the mode of operation of the carburetor to its first mode.

  • Patent number: 7549196
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a hand-operated tool (100) with a housing (12) and at least one handle (14) that is arranged on the housing such that it can be turned about an axis (13), wherein said handle comprises handle shells (15, 16) and a bearing part that is mounted on a counter bearing of the housing (12). The invention aims to develop a tool of this type that does not have the above-described disadvantages, particularly to make available a simple and inexpensive tool that can be easily assembled, and proposes that the first handle shell (15) and the bearing part are realized in one piece and the second handle shell (16) to be mounted on the first handle shell (15) is realized without a bearing part.
