13.1 Positioning and Adjusting the Connecting Cord
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from tripping or losing control of
the power tool, always secure the connecting cord through
the backpack guides and with the hook and eye fasteners as
described below. Position and secure the connecting cord
so that it will not interfere with proper working technique or
your ability to maintain control of the power tool.
WARNING
Manage the cord to prevent it from contacting the
cutting/working attachment or catching on objects, which
could cause you to lose balance or control of the power tool,
resulting in serious personal injury and property damage.
The connecting cord can be secured in different positions
and adjusted to suit the height and reach of the operator.
