WOOD CUTTER

A pruner includes a housing and a drive motor. The drive motor drives a saw chain, which is guided in a guide groove of a guide bar, in a rotary motion via a drive chain sprocket. A fastening section for receiving a first rechargeable battery pack for supplying the drive motor with electrical energy is provided on a rear end of the housing. The fastening section is provided for receiving a second rechargeable battery pack. The fastening section is arranged on the housing, in particular at least on the first handle, in such a way that a center of gravity of the pruner lies in the first handle when the pruner is in a state in which the first rechargeable battery pack and the second rechargeable battery pack are arranged on the fastening section.
