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.

Correct height
1) Forestry clearing Adjust the carrier strap so that the suspension hook comes approximately 10 cm under the hip. The blade should be angled forward a little.
2)Grass clearing
The suspension hook should hang approximately 20 cm under the hip so that the blade is parallel to the ground.
Correct balance 1)Forestry clearing
Move the suspension eye forwards or backwards. If the blade is balanced a 10- 20 cm above the ground it is easier to avoid stones.
2)Grass clearing
Let the blade balance at a comfortable clearing height, i.e. close to the ground.
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
•Forestry clearing is a general term for cutting small trees where each
stem is cut individually. A saw blade is used.
•Brush cutting is a general term for clearing grass. Grass blades are used for this purpose.
•Grass trimming is a
general term for light clearing, e.g. around edges or around trees. A trimmer head or plastic blade is used.
!WARNING!
