A motor chain saw has a housing, a motor arranged in the housing, a drive pinion driven by the motor, and a guide bar connected to the housing. A saw chain is driven in circulation about the guide bar by the drive pinion. A lateral panel is arranged between the housing and an attachment section of the guide bar. The guide bar and the lateral panel each have a distance relative to the drive pinion upstream and downstream of the drive pinion when viewed in a circulating direction of the saw chain. The lateral panel has a first guide that guides the saw chain at a level of rivets of the saw chain, wherein the first guide extends approximately parallel to the plane of the guide bar.

A sprocket cover arrangement for a hand-held chain saw has a housing and a sprocket cover that has an opening and is connected to the housing. At least one stud bolt having a first end secured to the housing and having a second end that is a free threaded end is provided. The free threaded end projects through the opening of the sprocket cover to an exterior side of the sprocket cover when the sprocket cover is positioned in an operating position on the housing. A nut is screwed onto the free threaded end of the at least one stud bolt on the exterior side of the sprocket cover so as to secure the sprocket cover on the housing. The nut is secured captively, rotatably and with play in the opening of the sprocket cover.
