A chainsaw apparatus has a body having a handle formed thereon or attached thereto, a motor, a saw blade coupled to the body so as to be extendable in transverse relationship to the longitudinal axis of the body, and a chain movably positioned on the saw blade. The motor is drivingly connected to the chain so as to cause the chain to move around the saw blade. The saw blade is adjustably coupled to the body so as to be movable between the position transverse to the longitudinal axis of the body to a position aligned with the longitudinal axis of the body. An angle adjustment mechanism is connected to the saw blade into the body. The angle adjustment mechanism is adapted to fix an angular position of the saw blade relative to the body.

The invention relates to a work device with a guide rail (4) on which a chain (5) is driven in a circulating manner. The work device has a clamping device (15) for the chain (5). The clamping device (15) has a clamping element (16) which acts on en the guide rail (4) in the direction (19) of the longitudinal central axis (18) of the guide rail (4). The clamping device (15) has a rotatably mounted adjusting element (17) which is connected to the clamping element (16) via a threaded connection (20). A rotation of the adjusting element (17) about its rotational axis (21) causes a movement of the clamping element (16) in the direction (19) of the longitudinal central axis (18) of the guide rail (4). The outer circumference of the adjusting element (17) has a threaded portion (22) with at least one turn (23), said threaded portion being provided for engaging with at least one threaded portion (24) of the clamping element (16). The adjusting element (17) has an actuating contour (39) so that a user can rotate the adjusting element (17), said actuating contour comprising at least one depression. The largest spacing (b) between the threaded portion (22) of the adjusting element (17) and the rotational axis (21) is at least as large as the largest spacing (a) between the actuating contour (39) and the rotational axis (21).

Disclosed is a chainsaw capable of introducing outside air into a body casing by rotation of a cooling fan to adequately cool a control unit provided inside the body casing. The chainsaw is configured to cool a control unit provided inside a body casing by a cooling fan being rotated under driving of an electric motor, wherein a handle comprises a base portion through which the handle (30) is attached to the body casing, and a grip formed to extend from the base portion in such a manner as to be grippable by a worker; and an air inlet is formed in a counter wall of the body casing opposed to the base portion of the handle, and wherein the base portion is attached to the counter wall of the body casing to cover the air inlet in an air introduceable state.

The present disclosure relates to a chainsaw 1 comprising a housing 3, a guide bar 5, projecting from the housing 3, and one or more handles 9. The guide bar 5 has a main direction of extension 15 defined by its center-line. The housing comprises an outer shell 3 made of plastic, which has at least a first 23 outer groove filled with a contrasting plastic material, wherein the groove at least partly extends straight in a transverse direction 17 that deviates less than 3 degrees from a direction perpendicular to the main direction 15 of extension of the guide bar 5. This provides an indication that facilitates precise and safe felling of trees.

A work implement is provided with a tool that has an opening. A housing part is provided and a stud bolt is screwed into the housing part. The stud bolt fastens the tool to the housing part. The stud bolt projects axially away from the housing part and projects at least partially into the opening of the tool. A transmission element is provided for transmitting transverse forces, acting transversely to the axial direction, from the tool to the stud bolt. The transmission element is a first element made at least partially of a first material with modulus of elasticity of 1 GPa to 80 GPa, or the transmission element is a second element with a spring element at least partially made of a second material with modulus of elasticity of larger than 80 GPa and with a free space for a spring travel of the spring element.
