Eye Protection
Eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 or CE requirements
◆
must be worn whenever you operate the unit.
For additional safety, a full-face shield can be worn over
◆
safety glasses or goggles to provide protection from sharp
branches or flying debris.
Hand Protection
Wear sturdy, no-slip, rubber work gloves to improve your grip on the
handles. Gloves also provide protection against cuts and scratches, cold
environments, and reduce the transmission of machine vibration to your
hands.
Hearing and Ear Protection
ECHO recommends wearing personal protective equipment whenever unit
is used.
Breathing Protection
Operators who are sensitive to dust or other common airborne allergens
may need to wear a dust mask to prevent inhaling these materials while
operating unit. Dust masks can provide protection against dust, plant debris,
and other plant matter such as pollen. Make sure the mask does not impair
your vision, and replace the mask as needed to prevent air restrictions.

• Pants should have long legs, shirts should have long sleeves.
