Abstract

The invention is directed to a power chain saw incorporating a braking device having a release handle. The chain saw includes a carrying handle spaced a distance from the release handle. At least one of the handles is made of a plastically deformable material and can be deformed so as to cause the spacing between the handles to be adjusted within predetermined limits.
