Adjusting the harness and brush
cutter
WARNING! When using a brush cutter it
!
must always be hooked securely to the
harness. Otherwise you will be unable to
control the brush cutter 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.
ASSEMBLY
Correct height
Adjust the shoulder strap so that the cutting attachment is
parallel to the ground.
Correct balance
Let the cutting attachment rest lightly on the ground. If you
use a saw blade it should balance about 10 cm above the
ground to prevent contact with stones and the like. Adjust
the position of the suspension ring to balance the brush
cutter correctly.
