Personal Protective Equipment - Husqvarna T536LiXP Operator's Manual

• The vibration level increases if you cut with cutting
equipment that is incorrect or not correctly
sharpened. Cutting hardwoods, such as broadleaf
trees, causes more vibration than cutting softwoods,
such as conifers.
• Overexposure to vibration can lead to circulatory
damage or nerve damage in persons who have
decreased circulation. Speak to your physician if you
experience symptoms of overexposure to vibration.
Such symptoms include numbness, loss of feeling,
tingling, pricking, pain, loss of strength, changes in
skin colour or condition. These symptoms usually
occur in the fingers, hands or wrists increases in cold
temperatures.
• Prevent situations which you think is beyond your
capability.
• It is not possible to include each possible situation
you can face during operation. Always be careful
and use your common sense.

WARNING: Read the warning instructions
that follow before you use the product.
• Most chainsaw accidents occur when the saw chain
touches the operator. You must use approved
personal protective equipment during operation.
Personal protective equipment does not give you full
protection from injuries but it decreases the degree
8
of injury if an accident does occur. Turn to your
servicing dealer for recommendations about which
equipment to use.
• Use the correct protection for your arms. Your
clothing must be close-fitting but not limit your
movements. Regularly do a check of the condition of
the personal protective equipment.

exposure to noise can result in permanent damage
to the hearing.

pieces of wood and more, at large force. This can
result in serious injury, especially to the eyes.
