ASSEMBLY Assembling and dismantling the two-part shaft (325RXT, 325RDX) 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. 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. 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. 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. 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 Adjust the support strap so that the cutting attachment is parallel to the ground. 20 - English Correct balance The cutting attachment should rest lightly on the ground. If you use a saw blade it should balance about 10 cm above the ground to prevent contact with stones and the like. Adjust the position of the support strap attachment ring to balance the clearing saw correctly.
