The invention discloses an electric
chain saw, which comprises a shell, a motor and a
brake device thereof, wherein the motor and the
brake device are arranged in the shell. The
brake device comprises a brake drum and a brake band, wherein the brake drum is sleeved on a
motor shaft and rotates along with the
motor shaft; and the brake band is sleeved on the outer edge of the brake drum, one end of the brake band is connected with a first brake unit, and the other end of the brake band is connected with a second brake unit. The brake device in the electric
chain saw adopts two brake units which can reply two conditions of normal braking and emergency braking respectively, and when one brake unit fails, the other brake unit can implement braking, so the brake device fully meets the requirement in the aspect of service safety of the electric
chain saw, and has the characteristics of quick braking, simple and convenient operation and sensitive motion; and compared with the prior electric chain saw adopting the brake mechanisms such as a
clutch, a lever and a gear, the electric chain saw of the invention has the advantages of simple integral structure and few parts, and is more favorable for miniaturized design of the electric chain saw.
