Get To Know Your Equipment
Before using any handheld equipment, be sure to read the operating manual provided by the manufacturer. The manual contains detailed, model-specific instructions on how to safely operate your equipment. Familiarizing yourself with the manual will help you understand the features and functions of your equipment, reducing the risk of accidents.
Wear Personal Protective Gear
When operating handheld power equipment, always wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). Depending on the equipment, this may include safety glasses, hearing protection, gloves, and sturdy footwear. Wearing the proper PPE will help protect you from flying debris, loud noise, and potential injuries caused by the equipment.
Keep Up with Routine Maintenance
Regular maintenance is key to ensuring the safe and reliable operation of your handheld equipment. Inspect the equipment regularly, replace any worn or damaged components, clean or replace the filters, and lubricate the moving parts as needed. By keeping up with routine maintenance, you can prolong the life of your equipment and prevent accidents.
