Operating the Pole Saw

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 (FT)
51–100
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 pole saw 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 . 21) .
