Chainsaw

A chainsaw, comprising:

• a guide bar;
• a saw chain that circulates on the guide bar;
• a drive motor that drives the saw chain circulating on the guide bar, wherein the chainsaw has a fixed part which comprises the drive motor, and wherein the chainsaw has a movable part which comprises the guide bar;
• a tensioning element arranged so that the guide bar is retained on the fixed part at one end braced between the fixed part and the tensioning element transversely to a longitudinal plane of the guide bar, wherein the movable part is shiftable in a longitudinal direction of the guide bar with respect to the fixed part to tension the saw chain with the tensioning element released;
• a stop face firmly connected to the fixed part in the longitudinal direction with the tensioning element released;
• and a tensioning face of the tensioning element, said tensioning face being firmly connected to the tensioning element in the longitudinal direction with the tensioning element released;
• at least two contact faces firmly connected to the movable part in the longitudinal direction with the tensioning element released, wherein one contact face of the at least two contact faces bears against the stop face and a further contact face of the at least two contact faces bears against the tensioning face;
• and at least one additional contact face firmly connected to the fixed part in the longitudinal direction with the tensioning element released arranged between the stop face and the tensioning face and at least one additional contact face firmly connected to the movable part in the longitudinal direction with the tensioning element released arranged between the stop face and the tensioning face, wherein all of the contact faces lie in succession in a flux of force from the tensioning element to the fixed part, further comprising at least one first clamping element and a second clamping element, wherein the at least one contact face that is firmly connected to the fixed part in the longitudinal direction with the tensioning element released is formed on the first clamping element and the at least one additional contact face that is firmly connected to the movable part in the longitudinal direction with the tensioning element released is formed on the second clamping element, wherein the clamping elements each have a width measured perpendicularly to the longitudinal plane, wherein the width of the clamping elements with the tensioning element released is in each case greater than the width of the clamping elements with the tensioning element tensioned.
