10.1 Putting on and Adjusting the Single Harness

WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of control and contact
with the blades, always wear a proper harness.
You must install the barrier bar, wear a proper harness and
always grip the rear handle with your right hand and front
handle with your left hand. That means you must place the
single harness over your left shoulder when working with
this KombiTool.
To fit and adjust the single harness:
► Shut off the KombiEngine or switch off the KombiMotor
and remove the connecting cord.

► Adjust the length of the harness strap (1) so that the
carabiner (2) is about a hand's width below the top of your

► Attach the carabiner to the carrying ring (3) on the
KombiEngine/KombiMotor.
For battery powered KombiMotors there are also other types
of battery harnesses available. They are described in the
