Leg Protection

Wear long pants to protect legs from cuts and scratches caused by flying debris.

Foot Protection

Wear sturdy shoes or work boots to provide foot protec- tion. Steel-toe shoes or boots provide extra protection against dropped or falling objects. Make sure soles are non-slip for secure footing.

General Clothing Safety

Never wear ties, loose clothing, or clothing with strings, frills, or dangling straps. Keep clothing buttoned or zipped, and keep shirt tails tucked in. Never wear dangling or hanging jewelry such as earrings or neck- laces, or any other items that could become entangled with branches or equipment, and be drawn into the moving parts of the engine.

Dust Protection

Operators who are sensitive to wood dust or other common airborne allergens may need to wear a dust mask to prevent inhaling these materials while operating unit. Dust masks can provide protection against sawdust, plant debris, and other plant matter such as pollen. Make sure the mask does not impair your vision, and replace the mask as needed to prevent air restrictions.
