WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from tripping on the connecting
cord or losing control of the power tool, always secure the
connecting cord with the hook and eye fasteners as
described below. Always position and secure the connecting
cord so that it will not interfere with the proper working
technique as described in the instruction manual for the
power tool you are using, or your ability to maintain control
of the power tool.

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
