[0039] 1. Through the unique design of the second supporting device, the chain guide plate and the chain can rotate 180° relative to the first mounting portion around the driving shaft, realizing the switching from the initial state to the folded state. In the folded state, the overall size of the electric saw is greatly reduced, and the overall length after folding is shortened to 50%-60% of the initial state, which is convenient for the user to carry to various working sites.

[0040] 2. The adjusting mechanism adopts the cooperation of an adjusting knob and a cam assembly. The user only needs to rotate the adjusting knob to drive the disk-shaped cam to rotate, and then accurately drive the chain guide plate to approach or move away from the sprocket along its length direction through the follower, realizing the rapid and accurate adjustment of the chain tension.

[0041] 3. The setting of the locking mechanism provides a strong guarantee for the safe use of the electric saw. When the locking pin is inserted into the locking groove, the tool assembly is fixed in the initial state and cannot rotate randomly, effectively avoiding the accident of the tool rotating and hurting people caused by misoperation. Further, by setting multiple locking pins, the tool assembly can be fixed at different angles to adapt to different working sites. In addition, the design of the return spring enables the locking pin to automatically reset after the unlocking operation is completed and maintain the unlocked state, facilitating the rotation of the second support mechanism to adjust the tool angle.

[0042] 4. The multi-angle engagement mechanism of the fan-shaped limiting part and the limiting claw, combined with the locking mechanism, realizes double locking, prevents the tool assembly from rotating under unexpected circumstances, avoids operators from being injured, and improves the safety of the electric saw during use. A single limiting groove can achieve precise positioning of the rotation angle with a minimum of 10°. By setting an angle-scale indicator and a synchronously rotating arrow mark, and combining with the tactile feedback of the limiting claw, double perception of the folding angle is realized.

[0043] 5. The lubrication system composed of an oil injection hole, an oil guide groove, an oil storage tank, and an oil guide hole enables the lubricating oil to be pumped from the oil pot into the oil guide groove through the oil injection hole and then flow into the oil storage tank to lubricate the chain. The whole process is smooth and efficient. Further, the oil guide groove is arranged towards the first rotating surface, and when the lubricating oil flows through the oil guide groove, it can also lubricate the first rotating surface and the second rotating surface, improving the smoothness of the rotation process.

The chain guide 23 and the chain 21 rotate synchronously with the second support device 5 to enable the cutter assembly to switch between an initial state and a folded state. The adjustment mechanism is adapted to adjust the tension of the chain 21 by driving the chain guide 23 to approach / away from the sprocket 22 along its length direction. Wherein, in the initial state, the extending direction of the chain guide 23 is parallel to the extending direction of the first support device 4 and extends outwardly towards the first mounting portion 44; in the folded state, the extending direction of the chain guide 23 is parallel to the extending direction of the first support device 4, the chain guide 23 extends outwardly away from the first mounting portion 44, and the cutter assembly rotates 180° from the initial state to the folded state.
