The harness is included in the scope of supply or
available as a special accessory.
► Use a shoulder strap.
► With the engine running, attach the machine to
the shoulder strap.
Grass cutting blades and brush knives must
always be used in combination with a shoulder
strap.
Circular saw blades must always be used in
combination with a full harness with a quick-
release system.

let. Refill the mowing head with nylon line as

line.

cles).

tions for the PolyCut mowing head.
