Using shoulder harness
The accompanying shoulder harness is suitable for people of standard adult physique, who
are 150 cm - 195 cm in height and 60 cm - 140 cm in waist size.
Use a shoulder harness when provided or when recommended in this manual. Adjust both
harness and the suspension point (A) on the unit so the unit hangs with the cutting attach-
ment a few centimetres above ground level (B).
The cutting attachment and shield should be level in all directions. Harness the unit on the
right side as shown.
Slide suspension point up and down the tube to find the right balance. Rotate the clamp to
level the cutting attachment and shield. Lock in position. If the suspension point is a free-
spinning type, the unit may tend to roll over sideways, however, you should still level the
attachment and shield on the front-to-rear axis.
Balancing and levelling, as above, may require relocation of the clamp and readjustment of
the harness straps. Also, each type of cutting attachment and shield mounted on the unit
may require balancing.
Always mount the trimmer correctly using the shoulder harness.
Buckle waist belt. Belt should be snug.
Attach product to harness.
Place shoulder harness over both shoulders and adjust straps so the connecting point
latches as shown.
Check for correct adjustment by moving cutting attachment along ground.
Re-adjust position of suspension point if necessary.
The shoulder harness is fitted with an emergency release function. In the event of a fire
or other emergency, pull the emergency tab (A) up to release the product from your body.
WARNING
This product is designed to fit a wide variety of body sizes, but may not be adjust-
able for extremely tall persons. Do not use the unit if your feet can reach the cutting
attachment when the unit is attached to the harness.
IMPORTANT
A person's size can affect the balancing adjustment. Also the balancing procedure may
not work with some units on some persons. If the shoulder harness does not fit you or
cannot be adjusted well, please ask your dealer for assistance.
