A chainsaw holder has a holder body. The holder body includes a top hook portion having a first segment, a second segment, and a third segment forming a top hook portion opening, a cutter bar retaining portion having a proximal retaining portion end and a distal retaining portion end where the proximal retaining portion end is connected to the top hook portion, and a guard portion connected to the distal retaining portion end. The cutter bar retaining portion forms a bump out that extends away from the top hook portion opening where the bump out has a first slot and a second slot spaced and parallel to the first slot where the second slot is aligned with the first slot.

A battery-powered portable cutting tool includes a housing, a cutting element, an electric motor to drive the cutting element to cut, a battery to supply electric current to the motor and a control circuit to control the supply of electric current to the motor from the battery. The control circuit may include a main switch and an auxiliary switch. The control circuit may have an active state in which the main switch allows electric current to flow to the motor and an inactive state in which the main switch does not allow electric current to flow to the motor. The operation of the auxiliary switch causes the control circuit to change between the active and inactive states. The auxiliary switch is arranged to determine whether the tool is in an inappropriate state to be used and, if so, cause the control circuit to change to the inactive state.

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 chainsaw includes a housing, a guide bar, projecting from the housing, and one or more handles. The guide bar has a main direction of extension defined by its center-line. The housing comprises an outer shell made of plastic, which has at least a first outer groove filled with a contrasting plastic material, wherein the groove at least partly extends straight in a transverse direction that deviates less than 3 degrees from a direction perpendicular to the main direction of extension of the guide bar. This provides an indication that facilitates precise and safe felling of trees.

A gardening and/or forestry apparatus has a support element. The support element supports an eyelet. The eyelet is configured to incorporate an apparatus securing element. The gardening and/or forestry apparatus also has an element receiving device. The support element and the element receiving device are configured to receive the support element in the element receiving device either in a first rotational position or in a second rotational position differing from the first rotational position and to secure the support element against rotation by form-fitting to the element receiving device.

A hybrid double and single wall case with two pivotally connected body portions which are single molded pieces that pivot between an open position and a closed position to respectively receive and contain a chainsaw. A portion of the body sections is configured as a double wall structure and a portion of one of the body sections is configured as a single wall structure.

An electric chainsaw includes a first handle having a grip portion that is provided with a trigger switch for activating an electric motor. The electric chainsaw includes a second handle having a laterally extending grip portion provided forward of the grip portion of the first handle. The electric chainsaw includes an indicator lamp for indicating a remaining charge amount of a battery pack, and a push-button type indicator switch for causing the indicator lamp to indicate the remaining charge amount. The indicator switch is provided at a position where the worker can operate the indicator switch by a finger of the other hand gripping the grip portion of the second handle.

A power tool is provided with a drive motor and a tool unit with a tool driven by the drive motor. A guide tube with telescoping section with external and internal tubes is provided, wherein the internal tube is longitudinally slidable within the external tube. A clamping device secures the internal tube relative to the external tube and has a clamping member supported rotatably relative to the internal tube and connected by a thread connection to the external tube. The clamping device is provided with a clamping ring with an opening arranged about an outer circumference of the internal tube. Compression of the clamping ring in longitudinal guide tube direction effects a size reduction of the clamping ring opening. The clamping ring has a first axial face supported relative to the external tube and a second axial face supported relative to the clamping member.

A hybrid double and single wall chainsaw case with two pivotally connected body portions that pivot between an open position and a closed position to respectively receive and contain a chainsaw. The peripheral side wall of one of the body portions has an opening for receiving a scabbard with an end portion, the end portion contacting the opening and the scabbard applied to the bar of the chainsaw. A portion of one of the body sections is configured as a double wall structure and a portion of one of the body sections is configured as a single wall structure.

A chain saw disclosed herein may include a motor configured to rotate a saw chain about a guide bar, a control unit configured to control a voltage applied to the motor, a body housing that houses the motor and the control unit, a battery detachably attached to the body housing, and a top handle provided above the body housing. The control unit may be disposed above the battery. In a rear view of the chain saw in a state where the chain saw is placed on a mount surface, the battery and the control unit may not overlap. In a top view of the chain saw in the state where the chain saw is placed on the mount surface, the battery and the control unit may overlap at least partially.
