SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Adjusting the harness and clearing saw
!WARNING!
When working with the clearing saw it should always be hooked in the harness. If this is not done, you cannot control the clearing saw safely and this can result in injury to yourself or someone else. Never use a harness with a defective quick release catch.
Quick release
On the front is an easily accessible, quick release catch. Use this if the engine should catch fire or in any other emergency situation when you quickly need to take off the harness and machine.
Even load on the shoulders
A
Correct height
Adjust the support strap so that the cutting attachment is parallel to the ground.
Correct balance The cutting attachment should 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 strap attachment ring to balance the clearing saw correctly.
Basic clearing techniques
•Always drop to idling speed after each working operation. Longer periods running at full throttle without loading the engine (that is without resistance, which the engine feels from the cutting equipment when trimming) can lead to serious engine damage.
Designations
•Use a saw blade for cutting woody growth with thin stems.
•Use a grass knife or grass blade for clearing grass.
•Use a trimmer head or
plastic blades for lighter clearing work, for example along verges or around trees.
!WARNING!
Sometimes branches, grass or wood can get caught between the guard and cutting equipment. Always stop the engine when cleaning.
