ASSEMBLY

Fitting other guards and cutting
attachments

Fit the trimmer guard/combination guard (A) intended for
use with the trimmer head/plastic blades. Hook the guard
onto the fitting on the shaft and secure it with the bolt (L).

Fit the drive disc (B) on the output shaft.

Turn the blade shaft until one of the holes in the drive disc
aligns with the corresponding hole in the gear housing.

Insert the locking pin (C) in the hole to lock the shaft.

Screw on the trimmer head/plastic blades (H) in the
opposite direction to the direction of rotation.

To dismantle, follow the instructions in the reverse order.

Adjusting the harness and clearing
saw

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.

Correct balance

Let the cutting attachment rest lightly on the ground. Adjust
the position of the suspension ring to balance the clearing
saw correctly.

!

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.
