SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Adjusting the harness and clearing saw
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.
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
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.
!
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.
