I have no experience on this model, more on chainsaws with heated handles BUT, the power comes from a magnet embedded around the flywheel (flywheel needed), this passes around a circular coil behind the flywheel (coil needed). There will be a wiring harness for the handles, a left and right handle or at least a heating element for both and a switch to turn them on and off.

 

The parts would be relatively tricky to fit.
