ASSEMBLYOFSHOULDER 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 al-
low 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
shoulder strap to allow the strap to rest
flat on the shoulder.
2. Adjust the strap, allowing the hook
to be about 6 inches below the
waist.
3. Fasten the strap hook to the clamp
located between the trigger handle
and the handlebar clamp base and
lift the tool to the operating 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 relo-
cate the shoulder strap clamp on the
shaft for proper balancing of unit.
