Abstract
A chain saw includes a guide bar for a saw chain, a housing, a sprocket wheel cover, and a stud fixed on the housing for threadably fastening the sprocket wheel cover and the guide bar. The free thread end of the stud has a maximum usable screw-in depth (t) for a nut. A stop for the sprocket wheel cover having a stop surface as well as a support surface for contact engaging the stop surface are provided. In the mounted state of the guide bar, a distance (a) remains between the stop surface and the support surface. The support surface contact engages the stop surface when the guide bar is removed and the nut is tightened and screwed onto the studs to a stop screw-in depth. The stop is configured in such a manner that the maximum usable screw-in depth (t) is greater than the stop screw-in depth.
