Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for securing a guide bar to a chainsaw body. In some embodiments, a chainsaw may include a mounting stud, a side cover and the retention member. The mounting stud may extend away from a bar mount pad of a chainsaw body and be dimensioned to be received in a slot of a guide bar when the guide bar is mounted to the chainsaw body. The side cover may be selectively mountable to the chainsaw body in a closed configuration in which the mounting stud is disposed between the bar mount pad and the side cover. The retention member may be coupled to the chainsaw body and positioned to retain the guide bar against the bar mount pad when the mounting stud is received in the slot of the guide bar. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.
