Personal Protective Equipment - Husqvarna 553RBX Bedienungsanweisung

• Always slow the engine to idle speed after each
working operation. Long periods at full throttle
without any load on the engine can lead to serious
engine damage.
• Listen out for warning signals or shouts when
you wear hearing protection. Always remove your
hearing protection as soon as the engine stops.
• Overexposure to vibration can lead to circulatory
damage or nerve damage in people who have
impaired circulation. Contact your doctor if you
experience symptoms of overexposure to vibration.
These symptoms include numbness, loss of feeling,
tingling, pricking, pain, loss of strength, changes in
skin colour or condition. These symptoms normally
appear in the fingers, hands or wrists.
• Do not use a product with a damaged spark plug
cap.
• Do not use a product with a defective muffler.
• Keep all parts of your body away from the rotating
cutting attachment and hot surfaces.
• Always wear gloves when you handle the grass
blade.

Personal protective equipment

WARNING:
instructions that follow before you use the
product.
• Always use approved personal protective equipment
when you use the product. Personal protective
equipment cannot fully prevent injury but it
decreases the degree of injury if an accident does
occur. Let your dealer help you select the right
equipment.
• Use a protective helmet where there is a risk of
falling objects.
• Use approved hearing protection that provides
adequate noise reduction. Long-term exposure to
noise can result in permanent hearing impairment.
• Use approved eye protection. If you use a visor,
you must also use approved protective goggles.
Approved protective goggles must comply with the
ANSI Z87.1 standard in the USA or EN 166 in EU
countries.
• Use a visor for face protection. A visor is not enough
for protection of the eyes.
• Use gloves when necessary, for example when you
attach, examine or clean the cutting equipment.
• Use sturdy non-slip boots.
• Use clothing made of a strong fabric. Always use
heavy, long pants and long sleeves. Do not use
