The handgrip is provided with a gripping detection device for detecting whether the handgrip is gripped by the worker, and the chainsaw is configured to, when the control unit is manipulated to deactivate the electric motor in a state in which the gripping detection device detects that the handgrip is gripped, maintain the main power switch in the ON state, and to, when the control unit is manipulated to deactivate the electric motor in a state in which the gripping detection device detects that the handgrip is not gripped, switch the main power switch to the OFF state.

Abstract: Disclosed is a chainsaw capable of making it less likely that vibrations due to driving of an electric motor and a endless movement of a saw chain are transmitted to a worker, thereby enabling the worker to become less likely to be fatigued even in work using the chainsaw. The chainsaw includes an electric motor provided inside a body casing; a guide bar provided in a front portion of the body casing in such a manner as to protrude forwardly; a saw chain provided around an outer periphery of the guide bar in an endlessly movable manner, and configured to be endlessly moved along the outer periphery of the guide bar under driving of the electric motor; a handle section provided with respect to the body casing, and configured to be gripped by a worker; and an anti-vibration member interposed between the body casing and the handle section.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A chain saw may comprise a braking mechanism; a housing including a first space and a second space in which the braking mechanism is disposed; and an operation member. The housing may include a through hole communicating the second space to outside of the housing. The operation member may be disposed over the second space and the outside of the housing through the through hole. The operation member may be movable between a braking position where the operation member causes the braking mechanism to interrupt rotation of a saw chain and a driving position where the operation member causes the braking mechanism not to interrupt the rotation of the saw chain. The braking mechanism may comprise a connecting member that moves in the second space in conjunction with movement of the operation member. The housing may include an opening communicating the first space to the second space.
