Protective gear

Work clothing
Clothing should be appropriate, i.e. should be close-fitting but not restrict your movement.
When on construction sites, do not wear long hair loosely, loose clothing or jewelry including rings.
These objects can easily get caught or be drawn in by moving machine parts.
Only wear clothing made of material that is not easily flammable.
Personal protective gear
Wear personal protective gear to avoid injuries or health hazards:
Non-skid, hard-toed shoes.

Work gloves made of durable material.

Overalls made of durable material.

Hard hat.

Ear protection.

Ear protection
This machine generates noise that exceeds the country-specific permissible noise levels (individual
rating level). It may therefore be necessary to wear ear protection. You can find the exact value in the
chapter Technical Data.
When wearing ear protection while working, you must pay attention and exercise caution because your
hearing is limited, e.g. in case someone screams or a signal tone sounds.
Wacker Neuson recommends that you always wear ear protection.
4.4
