Working safely and efficiently with a chainsaw
Everything revolves around product safety at Kraakman Garden Machines. Your chainsaw is already equipped with many technological features to ensure your safety. Prevention is always better than cure and with the tips below you can work safely and efficiently in the garden or in the woods at the same time.
Protect head, eyes & ears
Face and hearing protectors are crucial to protect your eyes and ears from engine noise, chips and splinters. At STIHL you will find a wide range for a wide variety of applications, from safety glasses with UV protection to an individually adjustable helmet set.
Hand protection
Non-slip safety gloves with cut protection are indispensable for lifting heavy weights. The STIHL work gloves meet the most diverse requirements. Depending on the type, they offer protection against cuts, wind, water, cold, thorns or are impermeable to oil.
Foot protection
The STIHL special chainsaw boots primarily provide support and protection against cuts and the necessary protection when handling a chainsaw. These sturdy boots feature a steel cap and gusset for maximum cut protection. The ergonomic design, the high-quality materials and the extremely safe non-slip profile sole guarantee wearing comfort.
Protect upper body & legs
For forestry and forestry work, it is certainly important to wear safety clothing that offers sufficient cut protection. STIHL personal protective equipment is very comfortable to wear and allows freedom of movement thanks to the elastic materials that also protect against water, wind and cold. Individually adjustable ventilation openings ensure an optimal body temperature. The cut-resistant inserts have been specially developed so that even the lightest suits offer excellent protection.
No matter how well protected you are, no personal protective equipment guarantees you against injury. Nor is it a substitute for a safe working method.
Therefore, always carefully read both the operating instructions for the safety equipment and the chainsaw. For detailed questions about your personal safety equipment and other safety accessories, you can always contact Kraakman Tuinmachines, your official STIHL dealer.
