Protective equipment

Personal protective equipment
WARNING! 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.
Always wear:
• Protective helmet.
• Hearing protection.
• Protective goggles or a visor.
• Tight-fitting, heavy-duty and comfortable clothing that
permits full freedom of movement.
• Protective gloves.
• Sturdy, non-slip boots or shoes.
• A breathing mask, gas mask or fresh air helmet must be
used when working in environments where the air can be
harmful to health.
• Always have a first aid kit nearby.
Other protective equipment
• Fall protection must be used when working at height or if
there is a risk of collapse. The operator and the machine
must be safeguarded with separate fall protection.
• Screening equipment and modified protective clothing
must be used when working in hot environments.
• Barriers must be used to inform people in the vicinity of
the machine's risk area.
• Equipment must be used to secure machine parts during
maintenance and service.

General safety warnings

WARNING! Please read the operator's
!
manual carefully and make sure you
understand the instructions before using the
machine.
The machine is used in a large range of environments and for
different types of work, making it impossible to forewarn of all
risks. Always exercise care and use your common sense.
Avoid all situations which you consider to be beyond your
capability. If you still feel uncertain about operating
procedures after reading these instructions, you should
consult an expert before continuing.
Do not hesitate to contact your dealer if you have any more
questions about the use of the machine. We will willingly be of
service and provide you with advice as well as help you to use
your machine both efficiently and safely.
Use the safety instructions as guidelines and support so that
you can detect possible risks yourself and take measures to
prevent them.
Let your Husqvarna dealer regularly check the machine and
make essential adjustments and repairs.
