Ask your chain saw dealer for help in choosing the right equipment.

•PROTECTIVE HELMET

•HEARING PROTECTION

• PROTECTIVE GLASSES OR VISOR

• GLOVES WITH SAW PROTECTION

• PROTECTIVE TROUSERS WITH SAW PROTECTION

• BOOTS WITH SAW PROTECTION, STEEL TOE-CAP AND NON-SLIP SOLE

Generally clothes should be close-fitting without restricting your freedom of movement.

• ALWAYS HAVE A FIRST AID KIT NEARBY
