Shoulder strap

WARNING:
Never use the strap hole for lan-
yard (tether strap). Doing so may result in serious
injury because the strap hole is not intended for a
safety device for fall prevention.
WARNING:
When carrying the tool, keep
holding the tool even if when using the shoulder
strap. Carrying the tool using only the shoulder strap
makes it unstable. The shoulder strap may come off
or the tool hit other objects and cause injury.
Attach the hooks of the shoulder strap onto the mounts
of the strap holes as shown in the figure.
