Fitting Other Guards And Cutting Attachments; Adjusting The Harness And Clearing Saw; Standard Harness - Husqvarna 333R-Series Operator's Manual

• When loosening and tightening the saw blade nut, there is
a risk of injury from the teeth of the saw blade. You should
therefore always ensure that your hand is shielded by the
blade guard when doing this. Always use a socket
spanner with a shaft that is long enough to allow this. The
arrow in the diagram shows the area where you should
operate the socket spanner when loosening or tightening
the nut.
Fitting other guards and cutting
attachments
• Fit the trimmer guard/combination guard (A) intended for
use with the trimmer head/plastic blades. CAUTION!
Ensure that the guard extension is fitted.
Hang the trimmer guard/combination guard (A) on the two
hooks on the plate holder (M). Bend the guard around the
shaft and tighten it with the bolt (L) on the opposite side of
the shaft. Use the locking pin (C). Place the locking pin in
the groove on the screw head and tighten. See diagram.

Adjusting the harness and clearing
saw
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.

Standard harness

Quick 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
1 Forestry clearing
The machine should be supported in a harness when forestry
clearing so that the cutting equipment is angled slightly
forwards in relation to the ground. Adjust the height using the
strap on the harness for the support hook.
