Protect yourself from objectionable or uncomfortable, loud noises by wearing earmuffs or earplugs. Especially when operating a line trimmer, power blower or chain saw.
Loose clothing can snag on controls and get caught in moving parts. Tuck in your shirttail; avoid wearing jewelry or unbuttoned, long-sleeved shirts and keep long hair safely secured.
Wear close-fitting clothes, long pants and closed-toe shoes with traction soles for protection.
When operating lawn and garden equipment, always use full eye protection to protect yourself against flying debris.
Wear gloves with a non-slip grip when operating portable power equipment and also when servicing equipment.
