Adjusting the harness and clearing sawStandard harness

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.

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.

Adjust the shoulder strap so that the cutting attachment is

parallel to the ground.

Let the cutting attachment rest lightly on the ground. Adjust

the position of the suspension ring to balance the clearing

saw correctly.

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.
