ASSEMBLY
Adjusting the harness and clearing
saw
Assembling and dismantling the
two-part shaft (225RD, 227RD,
232RD)
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.
Assembling:
Make sure the handle is
loose.
Guide the cut-out on the
lower section of the shaft
into the coupling‘s
locking plate on the
upper section of the
shaft. The sections are
then locked together.
Tighten the handle.
Dismantling
Undo the handle (at least
three turns).
Press the handle towards
the coupling.
Carefully twist the lower
section out of the lock.
Hold both parts of the
shaft and pull out the
lower section from the
coupling.
