POWER CORD USE AND CARE

SELECTING AN EXTENSION CORD
Select an extension cord that is:
• Specifically labeled 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)
0–50
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 chain 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 15)

CAUTION: ESTABLISH A BYSTANDER
SAFETY ZONE OF 20 FT (6 M) 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. 16). Felling operations require a
larger safety zone according to the size of the
tree, see "Felling a Tree" section.
