A power tool has a sprocket wheel cover mounted on a housing and a guide bar secured between housing and sprocket wheel cover and having a guide groove for a saw chain. The guide bar has a guide slot extending in a longitudinal direction of the guide bar and guiding the guide bar on a guide element for longitudinal movement relative to the housing. The guide bar has a first exterior side extending in a first plane and facing the housing and a second exterior side extending in a second plane and facing the sprocket wheel cover. The guide bar has an oil supply opening extending from the second exterior side into the guide groove and connected by an oil supply channel with an oil supply device. The oil supply channel has a channel section separate from the guide bar and extending from the first to the second plane.

A tree pruner includes a pruner body, a blade system, and an electric motor to provide driving power for the blade system. Rotation of the electric motor in a first direction provides a cutting action. A control system controls the electric motor, and a transmission system having a transmission rope transfers power from the electric motor to the blade system. The tree pruner includes a tension management system to detect a slack rope situation in which tension of the transmission rope is below a predetermined limit value, and the control system prevents rotation of the electric motor in a second direction opposite to the first direction as a response to detection of the slack rope situation.

A hand-held power tool, and in particular pruning shears, having an electric motor, a cutting member, and a transmission linking the electric motor to the cutting member, the motor and the transmission being housed in a main housing. An intermediate housing, made from a heat conductive material, is housed inside the main housing, the intermediate housing being in thermal contact with the electric motor. At least one heat sink is linked to the intermediate housing, and projects out of the main housing.

A tree pruner includes a pruner body having a first body section and a second body section spaced apart in a longitudinal direction, a blade system connected to the first body section and having a first blade and a second blade that co-operate and for cutting branches, and a drive mechanism is provided in the second body section and includes an operating switch for actuating the first blade and/or the second blade. The operating switch has at least two actuation modes, so that by a first actuation of the operating switch, the blade system moves from a blades-open position to a gripping position and stays in the gripping position, and by a second actuation of the operating switch, the blade system moves from the blades-open position to a cutting position, wherein the gripping position is between the blades-open position and the cutting position.

A handheld power tool includes a motor, a handle having a first switch for starting and stopping the motor, an output assembly, and an adjustment device including a telescopic rod assembly. The length of the adjustment device changes so that the handheld power tool has at least first and second working states. The distance between the frontmost side of the handheld power tool and the rearmost side of the first switch is an effective length of the handheld power tool. When the handheld power tool is in the first working state, the handheld power tool has a first effective length T1. When the handheld power tool is in the second working state, the handheld power tool has a second effective length T2. The first effective length T1 is less than or equal to 1 m, and the second effective length T2 is greater than the first effective length T1.

An extendible working machine has a rotation/drive section, a working section, and a rod section which connects the rotation/drive section and the working section, transmits rotational force to the working section, and can be extended and retracted. The rod section has a tube body which can be extended and retracted, and also has a shaft body which extends in the axial direction within the tube body and which can be extended and retracted together with the tube body. The shaft body has a pipe shaft which is supported within the inner tube in a rotatable manner. Helical grooves are formed in the surface of the drive shaft. The drive shaft is connected to the pipe shaft so the pipe shaft can move in the axial direction along the outer surface of the drive shaft and so the rotation of the drive shaft is transmitted to the pipe shaft.
