PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Personal equipment

Consult your BlueBird dealer when selecting

protective equipment. Our dealers have a broad

assortment of equipment for professionals such

as forestry workers and knowledge about

occupational environment requirements and

protective levels.

Before using the stump grinder, you may in many

cases need to cut back the object with a power

saw. Hence, it is appropriate to use personal

protective equipment that fulfils requirements for

working with both stump grinders and power

saws.

The main difference is that you should wear

protective glasses when operating the stump

grinder while the wire mesh visor gives sufficient

protection when using a power saw. Thus when

using the stump grinder, we recommend using

both a wire mesh visor to protect your face and

protective glasses. Alternatively, you can use a

Plexiglas face guard, but it scratches more easily

and is more susceptible to soiling and fogging.

You require the following personal protective

equipment:

1. Protective helmet (hard hat)

2. Ear protection

3. Face guard

4. Protective trousers

5. Protective glasses

6. Breathing protection (risk of dusty work

environment)

7. Protective gloves

8. First aid kit

9. Protective boots or steel-toed shoes
