Personal protective equipment
WARNING:
instructions that follow before you use the

equipment cannot fully prevent injury but it
decreases the degree of injury if an accident does
occur. Let your dealer help you select the right
equipment.
• Use approved hearing protection that provides
adequate noise reduction. Long-term exposure to
noise can result in permanent hearing impairment.
• Use approved eye protection. If you use a visor,
you must also use approved protective goggles.
Approved protective goggles must comply with the
ANSI Z87.1 standard in the USAs or EN 166 in EU
countries.
• Use gloves when necessary, for example when you
attach, examine or clean the cutting equipment.
• Use sturdy non-slip boots or shoes.
• Use clothing made of a strong fabric. Always use
heavy, long pants and long sleeves. Do not use
loose clothing that can catch on twigs and branches.
