Adjusting the harness and clearing
saw
!
WARNING!
When working with the clearing saw it
should always be hooked in the harness.
If this is not done, you cannot control the
clearing saw safely and this can result in
injury to yourself or someone else. Never
use a harness with a defective quick
release catch.
Quick release
On the front is an easily
accessible, quick release catch.
This is activated by pulling
the outer part of the chest
plate straight out. Use this if
the engine should catch fire
or in any other emergency
situation when you quickly
need to take off the harness
and machine.
Even load on the
shoulders
A well-adjusted harness and
clearing saw significantly
facilitates working. Adjust the
harness for the best working
position. Tension the side
straps so that the weight is
evenly distributed across the
shoulders.
Correct height
1) Forestry clearing
Adjust the carrier strap so
that the suspension hook
comes approximately 10
cm under the hip. The
blade should be angled
forward a little.
2)Grass clearing
The suspension hook
should hang approximately
20 cm under the hip so
that the blade is parallel to
the ground.
Correct balance
1)Forestry clearing
Move the suspension eye
forwards or backwards. If
the blade is balanced a 10-
20 cm above the ground it
is easier to avoid stones.
2)Grass and brush cutting.
Let the blade balance at a
comfortable clearing
height, i.e. close to the
ground.
Assembling:
• Make sure the handle is
loose.
• Guide the cut-out on the
lower section of the shaft
into the coupling‘s
locking plate on the
upper section of the
shaft. The sections are
then locked together.
• Tighten the handle.
Dismantling
• Undo the handle (at least
three turns).
• Press the handle towards
the coupling.
• Carefully twist the lower
section out of the lock.
• Hold both parts of the
shaft and pull out the
lower section from the
coupling.
