PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
MOST CHAIN SAW ACCIDENTS HAPPEN
WHEN THE CHAIN TOUCHES THE OPERA-
TOR. You must use approved personal
protective equipment whenever you use the
machine. Personal protective equipment
cannot eliminate the risk of injury but it will
reduce the degree of injury if an accident
does happen. Ask your dealer for help in
choosing the right equipment.
Long or continuous exposure to high noise
levels may cause permanent hearing
impairment. Always wear approved hearing
protection when operating a chain saw.
