A chainsaw includes a chainsaw body, a guide bar and a saw chain. The chainsaw body includes an oil tank, an oil pump to supply oil stored in the oil tank to a sliding portion between the guide bar and the saw chain, a first extension chamber arranged above the oil tank and a second extension chamber arranged above the first extension chamber. The oil tank communicates with the first extension chamber via a first flow path, the first extension chamber communicates with the second extension chamber via a second flow path and a vent hole communicating with the outer space is formed in the second extension chamber.
