The utility model provides a
chain saw. The
chain saw comprises a main body shell; a guide plate provided so as to protrude forward from the main body case; the saw chain is arranged on the periphery of the guide plate in a tensioning manner; an
electric motor which is provided inside the main body housing and which rotates the saw chain along the outer periphery of the guide plate; a
handle having a gripping portion to be gripped by an operator; the at least one
battery pack is assembled on the main body shell in a detachable manner and is suitable for supplying power to the
electric motor; when the
chain saw is observed from above in the state that the chain saw is arranged on the horizontal supporting surface, the projection of the
electric motor and the projection of the at least one
battery pack on the horizontal supporting surface are at least partially overlapped. When a user operates and uses the chain saw to conduct
cutting operation, due to the fact that the
gravity center of the chain saw further deviates towards the front end, the chain saw inclines downwards and forwards due to the
dead weight, more labor is saved when the user conducts
cutting operation downwards, and the
cutting efficiency is improved. Therefore, the user can use and operate conveniently.
