Abstract: A chainsaw including: a housing; a motor supported by the housing, the motor comprising an output shaft; a guide bar, the guide bar defining a cutting track; a cutting implement guided by the cutting track and driven about the guide bar by rotation of the output shaft; a tension adjusting system for adjusting tension in the cutting implement by displacing the guide bar towards or away from the housing, the tension adjusting system comprising a user actuatable interface accessible from an exterior of the housing, wherein the user actuatable interface is a bistable movable between a first position and a second position, wherein the tension adjusting system tensions the cutting implement to a cutting tension when the user actuatable interface is in the first position, and wherein the tension adjusting system tensions the cutting implement to a relaxed tension when the user actuatable interface is in the second position.

Abstract: The present invention provides an electric tool comprising a body, an operating component, an output shaft, and a stop mechanism. An arresting disc is disposed on the output shaft, and a groove is formed on the arresting disc; the stop mechanism comprises a protrusion, for example, a pin, which is operable so that the protrusion extends to insert into the groove to lock the output shaft. A stop mechanism of the present invention is easy to operate, delivers good safety performance, and has a relatively simple structure, which allows convenient production and subsequent maintenance. Further, a stop mechanism of the present invention automatically springs back to a non-stop position at which it detaches from the output shaft or the transmission gear of the transmission mechanism when the external force is lost, which prevents possible damage to the output shaft or transmission mechanism when a user starts the electric tool before releasing the stop mechanism.

Abstract: An outdoor tool and a lubrication system for an outdoor tool are provided. A tool includes a powerhead, a tool unit powered by the powerhead, and a lubrication system. The lubrication system includes a reservoir, a pump, and a check valve. The lubrication system is configured to transport a lubricant from the reservoir to an output that is configured to supply the lubricant to the tool unit. The check valve is a separate component from the pump and the reservoir and is spaced apart from the pump and the reservoir.

Abstract: A carrying case for a power tool and a power tool kit are provided. A carrying case for a power tool includes an interior volume defined by a top, a bottom, a front, a back, a first side, and a second side. The carrying case further includes a plurality of distinct compartments within the interior volume. The distinct compartments are configured to receive a battery-powered power tool, a battery configured to power the battery-powered power tool, and a battery charger for the battery, respectively. The carrying case further includes a battery receiver configured for locking engagement with the battery, wherein the battery receiver is formed on an interior surface of at least one of the front, back, first side, or second side.
