Abstract

A clamping assembly (130) for clamping a guidebar (120) of a chainsaw (100) to a chainsaw body (110) via a clutch cover (150) including a receiving opening (210) having a series of teeth (212) defined at an internal periphery thereof is provided. The clamping assembly (130) includes an inner knob base (220) rotatably received within the receiving opening (210), a rack element (240) disposed at a portion of the inner knob base (220) to be engageable with the teeth (212), and a knob (140) configured to contact at least a portion of the inner knob base (220). The knob (140) includes a driver reception slot (252) formed therein to engage at least one driver (224) extending from the inner knob base (220). Responsive to rotation of the knob (140), the driver (224) engages the knob (140) to rotate the inner knob base (220) such that the rack element (240) sequentially engages the teeth (212) while tightening the knob (140) to the chainsaw body (110).
