- Safety glasses to EN166
- Safety helmet to EN397 for protection against falling objects and overhead obstructions, incorporating ear protection to EN352. Under a mesh visor as face protection, safety glasses to EN166 must be worn as eye protection
- Gloves - adequate to protect hands against flying debris

Useful Information
Candidates may prefer, for their own comfort and safety to bring their own machine in “as used” condition along with operator manual and any spares, e.g. air filters, blades, etc. We can then work on a “real” situation and do some routine servicing.
