Claim:
1. A handheld work apparatus comprising: a work tool; a drive motor for driving said work tool; an operating element configured to permit an operator to operate said drive motor via said operating element; a first inhibiting unit; a first actuating element configured to shift said first inhibiting unit from a disabling state of said first inhibiting unit into an enabling state thereof in response to an actuation of said first actuating element by the operator wherein said operating element is blocked when said first inhibiting unit is in said disabling state thereof and wherein said operating element is unblocked to permit operation of said drive motor via said operating element when said first inhibiting unit is in said enabling state thereof; a second inhibiting unit; a second actuating element configured to shift said second inhibiting unit from a disabling state of said second inhibiting unit into an enabling state thereof in response to an actuation of said second actuating element by the operator wherein said operating element is blocked when said second inhibiting unit is in said disabling state thereof and wherein said operating element is unblocked to permit operation of said drive motor when said second inhibiting unit is in said enabling state thereof; and, a locking device configured to lock said first inhibiting unit in said enabling state thereof when said second inhibiting unit is in said enabling state thereof so as to prevent said first inhibiting unit from blocking said operating element also when the operator releases said first actuating element as long as said second actuating element is actuated by the operator so as to cause said second inhibiting unit to be in said enabling state thereof.
