How to use

To use the harness, place the straps over your shoulders and adjust the buckles until the harness sits securely and comfortably against your body. Attach the grass trimmer or brushcutter to the harness clip, ensuring the tool is balanced and hangs at a comfortable working height. Adjust the tension of the straps so that the weight of the tool is transferred to your shoulders rather than your arms. Always test the quick-release mechanism before starting the engine to ensure you are familiar with how to detach the tool quickly in an emergency.

What to consider before purchase

• Check if your trimmer has a dedicated attachment point
• Ensure the harness is adjusted correctly before starting the tool
• Consider the weight of your specific trimmer model

Usage recommendations

Always ensure the harness is properly adjusted to your height and build before beginning work to maximize the ergonomic benefits and prevent strain.
