Physical Condition

Your judgment and physical dexterity may not be good:                        

 

• if you are tired or sick,                       

 

• if you are taking medication, 

 

• if you have taken alcohol or drugs.

Operate unit only if you are physically and mentally well.

Eye Protection 

Wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 or CE re-

quirements whenever you operate the unit

Face and Head Protection 

When trimming overhead, always wear head protection 

meeting ANSI Z89.1 or CE requirements with a full face 

shield.  Head protection with full face shield will help 

protect you from falling branches and debris.

Hand Protection 

Wear no-slip, heavy duty work gloves to improve your 

grip on the unit handles. Gloves also reduce the transmis-

sion of machine vibration to your hands. 

Vibration and Cold 

It is believed that a condition called Raynaud’s Phenomenon, which affects the fingers of certain individuals may be 

brought about by exposure to vibration and cold. Exposure to vibration and cold may cause tingling and burning sen-

sations followed by loss of color and numbness in the fingers. The following precautions are strongly recommended 

because the minimum exposure which might trigger the ailment is unknown. 

•  Keep your body warm, especially the head, neck, feet, ankles, hands   

  and wrists.

•  Maintain good blood circulation by performing vigorous arm  

 

  exercises during frequent work breaks and also by not smoking.

•  Limit the hours of operation. Try to fill each day with jobs where  

 

  operating the unit or other hand-held power equipment is not  

 

  required.

•  If you experience discomfort, redness, and swelling of the fingers    

  followed by whitening and loss of feeling, consult your physician    

  before further exposing yourself to cold and vibration.
