Personal protective equipment
WARNING:
instructions that follow before you use the
product.
• Always use approved personal protective equipment
when you use the product. Personal protective
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 a protective helmet where there is a risk of
falling objects.
• Long term exposure to noise can result in damaged
hearing. In general, battery powered products
are relatively quiet but damage can result from
a combination of noise level and long usage.
Husqvarna recommends that operators use hearing
protectors when using products for a longer coherent
time of a day. Continual and regular users should
have their hearing checked regularly.

countries.

for protection of the eyes.
