Adjusting the balance
Adjusting the 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 recommend-
ed 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 direc-
tions. 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-spin-
ning 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.
