Quick release (Balance Flex harness)
There is an easily accessible, quick release fitted at the 
front as a safety precaution in case the engine catches 
fire, or in any other situation that requires you to free 
yourself from the machine and harness.
Check that the harness straps are correctly positioned. 
Once the harness and machine have been adjusted, 
check that the harness quick release works correctly.
Cutting equipment
This section describes how you can achieve maximum 
clearing capacity and extend the life of the cutting 
attachment through correct maintenance and using the 
right type of cutting attachment.
Only use cutting equipment recommended by us! 
Keep the chain’s cutting teeth properly 
sharpened!  Follow our instructions and use the 
recommended file gauge. A damaged or badly 
sharpened chain increases the risk of accidents.
Maintain the correct raker clearance!  Follow our 
instructions and use the recommended raker 
gauge.
 Too large a clearance increases the risk of 
kickback.
Keep the chain properly tensioned!  If the chain is 
slack it is more likely to jump off and lead to increased 
wear on the bar, chain and drive sprocket.
Keep cutting equipment well lubricated and 
properly maintained!
  A poorly lubricated chain is 
more likely to break and lead to increased wear on the 
bar, chain and drive sprocket.
!
WARNING! The inside of the muffler 
contain chemicals that may be 
carcinogenic. Avoid contact with these 
elements in the event of a damaged 
muffler.
!
WARNING! Bear in mind that:
The exhaust fumes from the engine are 
hot and may contain sparks which can 
start a fire. Never start the machine 
indoors or near combustible material!
!
WARNING! Never use a machine with 
faulty safety equipment. The machine’s 
safety equipment must be checked and 
maintained as described in this section. 
If your machine fails any of these checks 
contact your service agent to get it 
repaired.
!
WARNING! Always stop the engine 
before doing any work on the cutting 
attachment. This continues to rotate even 
after the throttle has been released. 
Ensure that the cutting attachment has 
stopped completely and disconnect the 
HT lead from the spark plug before you 
start to work on it.
