14 STIHL AR Backpack Battery

14.1 Positioning and Adjusting the Connecting Cord

WARNING
Chain saws are designed for right-handed use only - with the
operator's right hand on the rear handle and left hand on the
front handle. Left-handers must follow these instructions
too. (See illustration, Chapter @ 6.5.2). Accordingly, to
reduce the risk of personal injury, run the connecting cord
through the guide on the shoulder strap on the opertor's right
side only. Never run the cord through the guides on the
shoulder strap on the operator's left side.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from tripping or losing control of
the chain saw, always secure the connecting cord through
the backpack guides and with the hook and eye fasteners as
described below. Position and secure the connecting cord
on your right side and so that it will not interfere with proper
working technique or your ability to maintain control of the
chain saw.
WARNING
Manage the cord to prevent it from contacting the saw chain
or catching on objects, which could cause you to lose
balance or control of the chain saw, resulting in serious
personal injury and property damage.
The connecting cord can be secured in different positions
and adjusted to suit the height and reach of the operator.

The connecting cord can run through the guides on the
shoulder strap (Illustration A) or along the back
plate (Illustration B). Secure the connecting cord to the
backpack with the hook and eye fasteners (1) on the right
side of the operator's body, where the chain saw is held and
controlled. Do not allow the connecting cord to swing across
your body or hang at your side.

The length of the connecting cord can be adjusted by
making a loop around the top (Illustration C) or on the side
(Illustration D) of the backpack battery.
► Position and secure the connecting cord so that it will not
interfere with proper working technique or your ability to
maintain control of the chain saw.
