Stihl Kombi Use

I have a Stihl Kombi with a few tools but am having a problem.  When using the brush cutter or other tool at ground level I find that to keep the tool at ground level the engine comes up and my elbow ends up resting on the engine. With the vibration and heat this gets uncomfortable quickly.  Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong. My first thought is that  the tool is not long enough to reach the ground so I have to turn it down to reach.

I'm 6'2 and have the same issue with brush cutters. I can't get the head to sit level with the ground unless I lower the strap right off at which point I'm hunching over to use it. I use handlebar types now because I got sick of the positioning. Downside is, you can't really use multitools on handlebar cutters without a massive headache
