A hand-held power tool (100) may include an electric power source (110), an electric motor (120) selectively coupled to the electric power source (110), a working assembly (130) operably coupled to the electric motor (120) to perform a working function responsive to actuation of the electric motor (120), and a control assembly (140) operably coupled to the electric motor (120) to provide selective control over actuation of the electric motor (120). The control assembly (140) may be configured to provide the selective control based on performance of at least two dissimilar operator actions. The control assembly (140) may include a sensing member (210) and a throttle control member (200). The sensing member (210) may be configured to be operable to an actuated state responsive to an enabling action comprising a first of the two dissimilar operator actions. The throttle control member (200) may be configured to be repeatedly operable responsive to actuation of the throttle control member (200) while the sensing member (210) is in the actuated state. Actuation of the throttle control member (200) may include a second of the two dissimilar operator actions.

A hand-guided, battery-operated working apparatus has an apparatus housing in which is arranged an electric drive motor, a battery tray to accommodate a removable battery pack, and a cooling air guide. The cooling air guide includes an inlet-side air guide portion, which extends from a housing inlet into the battery tray as far as an air outlet from the battery tray, and an outlet-side air guide portion, which leads from the air outlet of the battery tray to the drive motor and, from there, onwards to a housing outlet. The working apparatus has a filter element, which is arranged in the cooling air guide so as to be accessible via the battery tray.

Provided is a hand-held working machine, including a connection receiving portion configured to connect an anchoring rope, which is configured to couple a machine body and an operator to each other, to the machine body. The connection receiving portion includes: an other-function portion provided to the machine body as a portion having other function or use; and a protrusion configured to retain the anchoring rope at a predetermined position of the other-function portion.

A handheld cutting tool includes a motor, a driven gear coupled to the motor for receiving torque therefrom and a sprocket coupled for co-rotation with the driven gear, a handle guard extending from handle portion, a chain supported on a guide bar and engaged with the sprocket such that rotation of the sprocket moves the chain along the guide bar, and a battery pack removably coupled to an end of the handle portion. The handle guard includes a support face configured to support the handheld cutting tool on a horizontal support surface, and the battery pack includes a foot portion. A center of gravity of the handheld cutting tool is located above the foot portion and permits balancing of the handheld cutting tool in an upright position on only the foot portion.

A system assists during felling of a tree. A provision device provides a property of the tree and/or a property of an environment of the tree, identifies at least part of a course of a cut in the tree for felling the tree and/or identifies a position and/or an orientation of a cutting apparatus executing the cut. A determination device obtains felling information related to an ideal felling direction of the tree, compares the identified part of the course to an obtained part of an ideal course of a cut to be executed in the tree for felling the tree in the ideal felling direction, compares the identified position and/or the identified orientation of the cutting apparatus to an obtained ideal position and/or an obtained ideal orientation of the cutting apparatus, and obtains cutting information based on the comparison. An output device outputs the obtained felling information and cutting information.

To provide an easy-to-use electric chainsaw that uses, in place of a large battery pack with a high voltage rating that would have been used in conventional electric chainsaws, a battery power source composed of a set of small commonly used battery packs of the same rating. An electric chainsaw having a built-in electric motor that is powered by a rechargeable battery, wherein a set of commonly used battery packs of the same rating is used as the rechargeable battery. The set of battery packs is mounted at the back of the main housing so that the center of gravity (G) of the chainsaw is positioned within a range (R) of 1.5 time the width (W) of the grip section of a rear handle between the left and right sides of a center line that is centered in the horizontal direction.

A method obtains a pollution condition of at least one component of a gardening and/or forestry apparatus. The method includes the steps of: obtaining at least one pollution parameter which describes at least one source of pollution prevalent during an operation of the gardening and/or forestry apparatus; obtaining the pollution condition of the component based on the obtained pollution parameter; and outputting and/or transmitting information based on the obtained pollution condition.

The present disclosure relates to an arrangement for transferring fluid to a guide bar in a chain saw. A channel can extend from a chain saw body to the fastening arrangement of the guide bar. The channel can include a cavity through the entire channel, a first end of the cavity being connected to a feed channel provided in the chain saw body and a second end thereof to a counter channel provided in the fastening arrangement. The counter channel, in turn, is arranged to extend to the guide bar. The channel is thus arranged to guide fluid flowing in the feed channel provided in the chain saw body through the channel and further through the counter channel provided in the fastening arrangement to the guide bar.
