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.
