carbon monoxide is sufficient.

• Always use approved personal protective equipment
during operation. Personal protective equipment
cannot eliminate the risk of injury but it will reduce
the degree of injury if an accident does happen. Ask
your servicing dealer for help in choosing the right
equipment.

exposure to noise can result in permanent hearing
impairment. Be aware of warning signals or shouts
when you are wearing hearing protection. Always
remove your hearing protection as soon as the

of injury from thrown objects. If you use a face
shield then you must also wear approved protective

with standard ANSI Z87.1 in the USA or EN 166 in
EU countries. Visors must comply with standard EN
1731.

or rayon. If ignited such material can melt and cling
to the skin. Do not wear shorts.
