Although they may seem low risk, you shouldn’t ignore Personal Protective Equipment when using a grass trimmer as they still operate at very high speeds. In this video, we’ll look at what Personal Protective Equipment you should always wear when using your petrol or cordless grass trimmer.
🔶 When using a cordless or petrol grass trimmer, make sure you are wearing steel-toed safety boots with non-slip soles, our STIHL WORKER S3 safety boots are a great choice.
🔶 There is a potential for grass, stones and debris to be flung up so you should wear snug-fitting safety glasses and a face shield to reduce the risk. Make sure they are a good fit – your local STIHL dealer can help you choose the right safety glasses or face shield.
🔶 If you are using a petrol or electric grass trimmer, you should also wear ear defenders or ear plugs to protect your hearing. Our STIHL battery-powered grass trimmers are quiet enough that you don’t need ear protection.
🔶 You should wear heavy-duty work gloves made of a durable material too.
🔶 Finally, make sure you aren’t wearing loose clothing or have any straps hanging down. You could opt for our STIHL FS protect trousers, but any snug-fitting protective trousers will also be fine.
If you aren’t sure what PPE to wear, always check the instruction manual for your STIHL tool before use. These can be found on www.stihl.co.uk. When it comes to the having the best protection in all the right places, STIHL Personal Protective Equipment has you covered.
