| Guidelines for
proper fit Put your elbow on the lower grip and point your fingers toward the top grip, there should be a gap of 03". For cutting in close quarters, you'll want a shorter gap, for mowing in open field a longer distance works better. The upper grip will fall between your chin and shoulder level when these two adjustments are made. Fitting a snath is not an exact science. The variables of human anatomy and your mowing technique makes a very complex equation. The guidelines are a starting point. Upper and lower grip positions can be changed with some woodworking skills. Don't be afraid to seek your best position by modifying the snath. |
