Adjusting The Harness And Clearing Saw - Jonsered GR2036 Operator's Manual

3 Make sure you can move and stand safely. Check the area
around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks, branches,
ditches, etc.) in case you have to move suddenly. Take
great care when working on sloping ground.
4 Take great care when cutting a tree that is in tension. A
tree that is in tension may spring back to its normal
position before or after being cut. If you position yourself
incorrectly or make the cut in the wrong place the tree may
hit you or the machine and cause you to lose control. Both
situations can cause serious personal injury.
5 Switch off the engine before moving to another area. Fit
the transport guard before carrying or transporting the
equipment any distance.
6 Never put the machine down with the engine running
unless you have it in clear sight.

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.
Always use a double harness that
distributes the load across both shoulders.
Safety 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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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
Adjust the support strap so that the support hook is
around 10 cm below your hip. The blade should be angled
forward a little.
2 Grass clearing
The support hook should hang around 20 cm below your
hip so that the blade is parallel to the ground.
Correct balance
1 Forestry clearing
Move the hanging ring on the machine forward or
backward. It is easier to avoid sawing into the ground if the
blade is balanced a few dm above the ground.
2 Grass clearing
Let the blade balance at a comfortable cutting height, i.e.
close to the ground.
