Cord strain relief (Fig. 4)

The cord strain relief (5) helps to prevent the cord from

entangling into the blade or wheel.

Make a small loop at the end of the mains cord, and pass

it through the opening of the cord strain relief, and then

hang it on the hook.
Always take the position of the cord into consideration

during operation. Start your operation from the nearest

point to the power supply to prevent the cord from

accidentally cut. It is recommended keeping the cord over

your shoulder during the operation.
