Introduction

IMPORTANT!

We strongly recommend the use of this safety equipment by all users at all times.

Because safety records demonstrate a clear decrease in the rate of injury when safety equipment is used, most professional logging operations now require their operators to wear these items. Take advantage of their experience. Your dealer will gladly assist in finding the right safety equipment for you.

Complete Protective Helmet

This consists of a lightweight hard-hat with ear-muffs and face shield attached. The main advantage is that everything you need is in one piece of equipment rather than three. Ear-muffs attached to the hard-hat also help keep it securely on your head.

The hard-hat is intended to reduce the risk of injuries from objects that may fall from a tree. Ear-muffs reduce the risk of hearing impairment from operating noisy equipment over a prolonged period of time. The face shield protects the face from small branches and the eyes from flying dust and chips.

Heavy Duty Gloves

Special gloves are available with the left glove reinforced to minimize injuries from accidental contact with a running chain saw.

Protective Pants or Chaps

The material used in modern protective pants consists of several layers of tough syntetic fabric which reduce the likelihood of injury in the event of contact with a running chain saw.

Boots

Special work boots with reinforced front and upper sides are available for loggers. Should you inadvertently hit the boot with the saw, these protective boots may protect you from injury.

First Aid Kit

A first aid kit approved by the Red Cross or similar organization should always be carried in case of injury in the field.

A kit should contain large dressings for lacerations, splints and slings for fractures, antiseptic and other optional items for your safety and convenience, such as insect repellent or a snake bite kit.
