Personal Protective Equipment - Husqvarna 540i XP Manuel D'utilisation

Personal protective equipment

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 of injury if an accident
occurs. Speak to your servicing dealer for
recommendations about which equipment to use.
• Your clothing must be close-fitting but not limit your
movements. Regularly do a check of the condition
of the personal protective equipment.
• Use an approved protective helmet.
• Use approved hearing protection. Long-term
exposure to noise can result in permanent damage
to the hearing.
• Use protective glasses or a face visor to decrease
the risk of injury from thrown objects. The product
can throw objects, such as wood chips, small
pieces of wood and more, at large force. This can
result in serious injury, especially to the eyes.
• Use gloves with saw protection.
• Use pants with saw protection.
• Use boots with saw protection, steel toe-cap and
non-slip sole.
• Always have a first-aid kit with you.
• Risk of sparks. Keep fire extinguishing tools and a
shovel near to prevent forest fires.
