OPERATOR SAFETY
Leg Protection
Wear long pants to protect legs from cuts and scratches
caused by flying debris.
Foot Protection
Wear sturdy shoes or work boots to provide foot protec-
tion. Steel-toe shoes or boots provide extra protection
against dropped or falling objects. Make sure soles are
non-slip for secure footing.
General Clothing Safety
Never wear ties, loose clothing, or clothing with strings,
frills, or dangling straps. Keep clothing buttoned or
zipped, and keep shirt tails tucked in. Never wear
dangling or hanging jewelry such as earrings or neck-
laces, or any other items that could become entangled
with branches or equipment, and be drawn into the
moving parts of the engine.
Dust Protection
Operators who are sensitive to wood dust or other
common airborne allergens may need to wear a dust
mask to prevent inhaling these materials while operat-
ing unit. Dust masks can provide protection against
sawdust, 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.
PROTECTION AGAINST COLD OR VIBRATION
CAUTION
Prolonged exposure to cold and/or vibration may result
in injury. Read and follow all safety and operation
instructions to minimize risk of injury. Failure to follow
instructions may result in painful wrist/hand/arm injuries.
Wear sturdy work gloves to help reduce the effects of
cold and vibration, and to help improve your grip.
