Fitting The Harness - Efco DS 2600 4S Manuel D'utilisation Et D'entretien

OPERATION
WARNING: If the blade loosens after being properly
tightened, stop work immediately. The retaining nut
may be worn or damaged and should be replaced.
Never use unauthorized parts to secure the blade. If
the blade continues to loosen, see your dealer. Never
use a brush cutter with a loose blade.
Basic Cutting Procedure
1. Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.
33
WARNING: Hold the brush cutter firmly with both
hands (Fig. 33). Always keep your body is to the left
of tube. Never use a cross-handed grip. Left-handers
should follow these instructions too.
Keep a proper cutting stance (Fig. 34).
2. Maintain a proper grip (Fig. 33) on the brush cutter whenever
the engine is running. The fingers should encircle the
handlebar and the thumb is wrapped under the handlebar.

Fitting the harness

Correct adjustment of the harness permits the brush cutter to be
properly balanced and at an appropriate height from the ground
(Fig.35):
• Put on the single harness.
• Hook the brush cutter to the harness using the hook (A,
Fig.36).
• Position the hook (B, Fig.36) to obtain the best brush cutter
balance.
35
• Position the buckle (C, Fig.37) to obtain the correct brush cut-
ter height.
Correct balance (Fig. 36)
1 Forestry clearing
The machine is balanced by moving the support ring on the
machine forwards or backwards. On some models the support
ring is fixed, however, this will then have a number of holes for the
support hook. The machine is correctly balanced when it freely
36
hangs horizontally from the support hook. In this way the risk of
hitting stones is reduced if you need to release the handlebar.
2 Grass clearing
Let the blade balance at a comfortable cutting height, i.e. close to
the ground.
Work Area Precautions
WARNING: Cut only grass or weed. Cut wood only
with appropriate saw blade. Do not cut metal,
37 plastics, masonry, or non-wood building materials.
