CONNECTING TO POWER SUPPLY
See Figure 5.
This product is designed with a cord retainer that
prevents the extension cord from being pulled
loose while using.
Form a loop with the end of the extension
cord.
Insert loop portion of extension cord through
opening in the bottom of the rear handle and
place over cord retainer.
Slowly pull loop against cord retainer until the
slack is removed.
Plug product into extension cord.
NOTE:
Failure to remove all excess cord slack
from extension cord retainer could result in plug
loosening from receptacle.
NOTICE:
Before each use, check to make sure that the
chain is properly tensioned.
A cold chain is cor-
rectly tensioned when there is no slack on the
underside of the guide bar, the chain is snug,
and it can be turned by hand without binding.
During normal saw operation, the temperature
of the chain increases. The drive links of a cor-
rectly tensioned warm chain will hang approxi-
mately .050 in. out of the bar groove.
See the
Chain Tension
instructions in the
Maintenance
section of this manual to properly
adjust the chain tension.
