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.
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.

ASSEMBLY
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 suspension 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.
