Check the balance of the assembled unit. The handles and
shoulder harness have been assembled at the factory and set
according to the average sized person. This can be adjusted to
the operator’s preference.
1. Unit handles can be re-adjusted to the operator’s
preference by simply loosening the screws and sliding
handles up or down the shaft. Re-tighten the screws
(Picture 16). The distance between the replacement portion
of the blade and the foremost portion of the guiding handle
should be at least 18" (450mm). (Picture 17)
2. Wheel height can be re-adjusted by loosening clamp lever,
and changing the height of the wheel to achieve desired
cutting depth. (Picture 18) Up-deep cut, down-shallow cut.
