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.
Safety 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.

Correct height
1Forestry clearing
The machine should be supported in a harness when forestry clearing so that the cutting equipment is angled slightly forwards in relation to the ground. Adjust the height using the strap on the harness for the support hook.
2Grass clearing
The machine should be supported in a harness when grass clearing so that the cutting equipment is parallel to the ground.
Correct balance
1Forestry clearing
The machine is balanced by moving the support ring on the machine forwards or backwards. On some models the support ring is fixed, however, this will then have a number of holes for the support hook. The machine is correctly balanced when it freely hangs horizontally from the support hook. In this way the risk of hitting stones is reduced if you need to release the handlebar.
2Grass clearing
Let the blade balance at a comfortable cutting height, i.e. close to the ground.
