14.1.1 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.
The connecting cord can run through the guides on the
shoulder straps (Illustration A) or along the back
plate (Illustration B). Secure the connecting cord to the
backpack with the hook and eye fasteners (1) on the side of
the body where the power tool is held and controlled. Do not
allow the connecting cord to swing across your body or hang
at your side.
