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.

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 accident or personal injury.

complete to the tool's cord and the other hook of
hook complete to the extension cord. Working with
the tool with a sole hook only attached may cause an
accident and injury.

cutting off the extension cord unexpectedly caused by
the loose extension cord.
