SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Adjusting the harness and clearing saw
Designations
• Use a saw blade for
cutting woody growth
with thin stems.
• Use a grass knife or grass
blade for clearing grass.
• Use a trimmer head or
plastic blades for lighter
clearing work, for
example along verges or
around trees.
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.
!
WARNING!
Sometimes branches, grass or wood can
get caught between the guard and cutting
equipment. Always stop the engine when
cleaning.
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.
Even load on the
shoulders
A well-adjusted harness and
clearing saw significantly
facilitates working. Adjust
the harness for the best
working position. Tension
the side straps so that the
weight is evenly distributed
across the shoulders.
Correct height
Adjust the support strap so
that the cutting attachment
is parallel to the ground.
Correct balance
The cutting attachment
should 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 strap attachment
ring to balance the clearing
saw correctly.
!
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.
