ASSEMBLY

Adjusting the harness and clearing saw

WARNING! When using a clearing saw it

!must always be hooked securely to the harness. Otherwise you will be unable to control the clearing saw safely and this can result in injury to yourself or others. Never use a harness with a defective quick release.

Standard harness

Quick release

At the front is an easily accessible, quick release. Use this if the engine catches ﬁre or in any other emergency situation that requires you to free yourself from the machine and harness.

Spreading the load on your shoulders

A well-adjusted harness and machine makes work much easier. Adjust the harness for the best working position. Tension the side straps so that the weight is evenly distributed across both shoulders.

Correct height

Adjust the shoulder strap so that the cutting attachment is parallel to the ground.

Correct balance

Let the cutting attachment rest lightly on the ground. If you use a saw blade it should balance about 10 cm above the ground to prevent contact with stones and the like. Adjust the position of the support hook to balance the clearing saw correctly.
