The invention discloses a guide plate and a
chain saw, relates to the technical field of chain saws, and aims to solve the problems of non-uniform distribution of lubricating oil and waste of the lubricating oil. The guide plate comprises an inner plate and two outer plates. The inner plate and the outer plate define a lubricating flow
channel network, and the lubricating flow
channel network comprises a main oil channel, a plurality of
branch oil channels communicated with the main oil channel and a head oil outlet hole; the head oil outlet hole is used for allowing lubricating oil in the main oil duct to flow to the head area of the guide plate, and the multiple
branch oil ducts extend to the guide plate groove and form multiple side oil outlets. A first oil inlet and a second oil inlet which are communicated with the main oil duct are formed in the
tail part of the guide plate; the first oil inlet and the second oil inlet are both communicated with the main oil duct; a first groove hole capable of being matched with the axial moving tensioning pin is formed in the
tail of the guide plate, and when the tensioning pin moves forwards to the working position, a rod body of the tensioning pin abuts against and blocks the second oil inlet. The guide plate and the
chain saw provided by the invention are used for ensuring uniform distribution of lubricating oil and reducing escape of the lubricating oil, so that the lubricating oil is saved and the lubricating reliability is improved.
