Safety (continued)
The Properly Equipped Operator
Wear hearing protection devices and a
broad-brimmed hat or helmet. A helmet
is required when using a blade-equipped
brushcutter to clear small trees.
Prolonged exposure to excessive noise
is fatiguing and could lead to impaired
hearing.
Wear close-fitting clothing to
protect legs and arms. Gloves
offer added protection and are
strongly recommended. Do not
wear clothing or jewelry that
could get caught in machinery
or underbrush. Secure long hair
so that it is above shoulder level.
NEVER wear shorts!
Long-term exposure to vibration
can damage your hands.
Keep a proper footing and do not
overreach. Maintain your balance at all
times during operation.
Wear appropriate footwear (non-skid
boots or shoes): do not wear open-
toed shoes or sandals. Never work
barefooted!

operation in very hot
