Proper Clothing
!
Warning!
Hedge cutter operation
can cause serious injury
to eyes, ears and person.
Therefore, to reduce the
risk of injury to your eyes
never operate a hedge
cutter unless wearing goggles or
properly fitted safety glasses with
adequate top and side protection
complying with ANSI Z 87.1 (or your
applicable national standard).To reduce
the risk of injury to your face STIHL
recommends that you also wear a face
shield or face screen over your goggles
or safety glasses.
!
Warning!
Hedge cutter noise may
damage your hearing.
Wear sound barriers (ear
plugs or ear mufflers) to
protect your hearing.
Continual and regular
users should have their hearing checked
regularly.
Wear an approved safety hard hat to
reduce the risk of injury to your head
when there is a danger of head injuries.
Wear proper protective clothing.
Protect your hands with
gloves when handling the
hedge cutter and the
cutting tool. Heavy-duty,
nonslip gloves improve
your grip and help to
protect your hands.
Clothing must be sturdy
and snug-fitting, but allow
complete freedom of
movement. Avoid loose-
fitting jackets, scarfs,
neckties, jewelry, flared or
cuffed pants, unconfined long hair or
anything that could become caught on
branches, brush or moving parts of the
unit. Wear long pants made of heavy
material to protect your legs.
Do not wear shorts.
Good footing is most
important in hedge cutter
work. Wear sturdy boots
with nonslip soles. Steel-
toed safety boots are
recommended.
