SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Adjusting the harness and clearing saw
Safety 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
Adjust the shoulder strap so that the cutting attachment is
parallel to the ground.
Correct balance
Let the cutting attachment 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 hook to balance the clearing saw
correctly.
Basic working techniques
• Always slow the engine to idle speed after each working
operation. Long periods at full throttle without any load on
the engine can lead to serious engine damage.
Terms
• Use a saw blade for cutting woody growth with thin stems.
• Use a grass cutter 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! 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.
Always use a double harness that
distributes the load across both shoulders.
!
WARNING! Sometimes branches or grass
get caught between the guard and cutting
attachment. Always stop the engine before
cleaning.
