Power Cord Use and Care

SELECTING AN EXTENSION CORD
Select an extension cord that is:
• Specifically labelled for outdoor use
• Of a wire size (AWG) heavy enough to carry
the current the full length of the cable
according to the table below
Select the gauge of extension cord based
on the desired length and the electrical
specifications found on the product label
These are the recommended gauges based on
the length of cord
CORD LENGTH (M)
0–15
16–30
Make sure the insulation is free of cracks and
that the plugs on both ends are undamaged
USING THE STRAIN RELIEF BRACKET
It is important to use the strain relief bracket
for two reasons:
• It saves wear on both the power cord and the
extension cord and their plugs
• It prevents the chainsaw from becoming
unplugged from the extension cord
accidentally
To use the strain relief bracket, bend the
extension cord into a U-shape and put it
through the hole in the rear handle Slide the
loop of cord over the hook and tug lightly until
snug (Fig 5)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury,
wear proper boots, gloves, head, ear, and
eye protection.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
electric shock, make sure the cord
insulation is intact and that the cord is in
a dry location where there is no danger of
it being cut or tripped over.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury,
always be sure of footing and hold the
chainsaw firmly with both hands while the
motor is running.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury,
plan ahead and plan multiple escape
paths before beginning work.
CAUTION: Establish a bystander safety
zone of 6 m (20 ft) prior to operation of
this equipment. Bystander safety zone is
a minimum 6 m (20 ft) circle around the
operator that must remain free from
bystanders, children and pets (Fig. 6).
Felling operations require a larger safety
zone according to the size of the tree, see
"Felling a Tree" section.
