to the mains outlet.
► Fig.4: 1. Hook complete 2. Extension cord 3. Tool's
cord
When engaging the extension cord, secure it to the
tool's cord with the hook complete. Attach the hook
about 100 - 200 mm from the extension cord connector.
This will help prevent unintentional disconnection.
Waist cord hook
CAUTION:
• Do not attach the holder of waist cord hook to
other than the extension cord. Do not attach it
in a position closer to the tool beyond the hook
complete. Failure to do so may cause an acci-
dent or personal injury.
• Attach firmly one hook of the hook complete to
the tool's cord and the other hook of hook com-
plete to the extension cord. Working with the
tool with a sole hook only attached may cause
an accident and injury.
Using the waist cord hook helps to minimizing a risk of
cutting off the extension cord unexpectedly caused by
the loose extension cord.
