A mechanism for reducing time-lost to tedious but necessary adjustments while using a chainsaw is disclosed, as well as methods of manufacture and use. An embodiment has a metal part fitting inside a plastic handle portion, where the two are sometimes assembled in two halves and then pressed molded or fastened together, in the form of a pull-handle positioned at the end of a starter-cord on a chainsaw. Another embodiment has the metal part containing a flat-blade screwdriver surface at one end, which matches and mates with some type of slotted adjustment fixture within the chainsaw; and where the other end has a socket wrench which matches up with an adjustment bolt within the chainsaw. Yet another embodiment has a dog-bone (socket) wrench fitting at one end, and a flat-blade at the other end.

Provided is an electric power work device which includes: a body case; a work tool protruding forward from a front side with respect to the body case; a motor; and a battery supplying power to the motor. The motor is accommodated in the body case and the battery is detachably attached to a rear side with respect to the body case. A top handle is extended in a longitudinal direction at an upside with respect to the body case. The top handle includes, on an upper surface of a front part thereof, a thumb rest and a power switch. The power switch is arranged on a side in a lateral direction of the thumb rest.

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.

An engine is configured such that, during the starting of the engine, when it is being detected that throttle opening has been set at a starting position, if it is detected that the engine speed has exceeded a predetermined speed slightly lower than a speed when a centrifugal clutch becomes an engaged state, a control unit retards the ignition timing from a general angle to a first angle BTDC, and then advances the ignition timing to a second angle at predetermined intervals, and holds the ignition timing at the second angle for a predetermined time period, thereby preventing the engine from stopping due to fouling on the spark plug while suppressing the engine speed at the speed when the centrifugal clutch becomes the engaged state, or less.

An electric tool includes a drive structure, a motor, a driver circuit, and a controller. The controller is configured to output a first control signal to control the motor to drive the drive structure to operate in a first operation mode for a preset period of time in response to receiving a start instruction. After the preset period of time, the controller will output a second control signal to control the motor to drive the drive structure to operate in a second operation mode to a preset state. The first operation mode and the second operation mode are two opposite operation modes.

A chain saw may include a saw chain, a guide bar to which the saw chain is attached, a sprocket configured to run the saw chain along a periphery of the guide bar, a prime mover configured to rotate the sprocket, an oil tank configured to store oil to be supplied to the saw chain, a housing that houses the prime mover and the oil tank, a bolt protruding from the housing and penetrating a hole disposed in the guide bar, a nut screwed onto the bolt to fix the guide bar to the housing, and a heat dissipating structure configured to dissipate heat from the bolt to the oil in the oil tank.
