Assembling the Pruner (installing the saw chain)

With a basic understanding of kickback, you will reduce or
eliminate the element of surprise that may contribute to an
accident.

Kickback may occur when the moving saw chain at the nose of
the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in
and pinches the saw chain in the cut. In some cases, this may
cause fast reverse action, kicking the unit up and back or down
and back towards the operator. The operator can lose control of
the device, and that could result in serous personal injury.

35. Securing the extension cord.

Bend the extension cord about 15 inches from the plug
end. Push that bend through the oblong opening in the
back of the handle. Then loop the bend under the
cord retaining clips as
shown. This will prevent
the extension cord from
detaching from the hedge
trimmer plug.
