ASSEMBLY OF SHOULDER STRAP

WARNING: Proper shoulder strap and handlebar adjustments must be made with the engine completely stopped before using unit.

1.Insert your right arm and head through the shoulder strap and allow it to rest on your left shoulder. Make sure the danger sign is on your back and the hook is to the right side of your waist.

NOTE: A one-half twist is built in the shoul- der strap to allow the strap to rest flat on the shoulder.

2.Adjust the strap, allowing the hook to be about 6 inches (15 cm) below the waist.

3.Fasten the strap hook to the clamp located between the trigger handle and the handle- bar clamp base and lift the tool to the oper- ating position.

4.Try on shoulder strap and adjust for fit and balance before starting the engine or beginning a cutting operation.

NOTE: It may be necessary to relocate the shoulder strap clamp on the shaft for proper balancing of unit.

TO RELOCATE SHOULDER STRAP CLAMP:

1.Loosen and remove both clamp screws.

2.Place the upper shoulder strap clamp over the shaft.
