Adjusting the harness and

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.
Put on the harness and hang the machine from the
support hook. Now make a final adjustment so that the
machine is in a comfortable working position when it
hangs from the harness. Tighten the screws.

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.
