Strain relief device for e.g. chain saw, has closing part pivoted at hollow space and provided with hooks such that hooks are transferable in movement path of loop or are formed distant from path
The device has an opening (6) for a cable (16), which is laid in a loop (15). Hooks are provided for holding the loop. A hollow space of a work implement (2) continuing in the opening accommodates the loop of the cable. A closing part (5) is pivoted at the hollow space and is provided with hooks such that the hooks are transferable in a movement path of the loop or are formed remote from the path. The hollow space and the closing part are arranged in a gripping part (1) of a housing (3) of the work implement.
