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.

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

1Forestry clearing

Adjust the support strap so that the support hook is around 10 cm below your hip. The blade should be angled forward a little.

2Grass clearing

The support hook should hang around 20 cm below your hip so that the blade is parallel to the ground.

Correct balance

1Forestry clearing

Move the suspension ring on the machine forward or backward. It is easier to avoid sawing into the ground if the blade is balanced a few dm above the ground.

2Grass clearing

Let the blade balance at a comfortable cutting height, i.e. close to the ground.
