Adjusting The Harness And Clearing Saw; Standard Harness - Husqvarna 326R X-SERIES Operator's Manual

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
Adjust the shoulder strap so that the cutting attachment is
parallel to the ground.
ASSEMBLY
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 support hook to balance the clearing saw
correctly.
