Powerful protection solutions to get your spring jobs done
Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products is urging all New Zealanders to take care when using power garden equipment for Do-It-Yourself projects this spring. The home of New Zealand’s leading outdoor power equipment, McCulloch, Poulan and WeedEater, wants to ensure protection and safety are always top of mind before any job.
Michael James, Husqvarna’s resident chainsaw expert, says: “Appropriate precautions must always be taken. Protection and safety should be considered part of getting the job done whenever you work with chainsaws and outdoor power equipment.”
Before every backyard job, Husqvarna recommends these six essential items are worn to protect your body when operating power garden equipment. These items are also recommended by the New Zealand Forestry Association.
- Goggles or a face visor must be used to cover your eyes
- Protect your ears with muffs or plugs
- Wear appropriate gloves to ensure a good grip
- Safety pants or chaps must be used to protect your legs
- Boots with non slip soles should be worn on your feet.
- Your head should be covered by a New Zealand safety standards-approved helmet
James added, “In the workplace, these kinds of procedures are mandatory and they should also be applied when undertaking tasks in your own backyard. Chainsaw owners should always follow the instructions supplied by the manufacturer, choose quality products and maintain their machines to ensure they remain in top condition.”
This summer, Husqvarna can get you started on your outdoor projects with their wide range of renowned and respected brands right for any size job.
Durable and reliable, McCulloch’s quality products will ensure you are equipped to tackle any outdoor task. The range’s M3414 chainsaw is ideal for general yard work around the home, and features a steel spring anti-vibration system with detached handles for optimal operator comfort. It’s easy to start thanks to the EPS system, whilst the SuperClean air filter system extends engine and air filter life.
The Poulan and WeedEater range includes a wide variety of products to make garden maintenance easy. With its EPS starting system and a dual-action stainless steel blade with impressive 19mm branch diameter, the WeedEater WT55 Trimmer is ideal for a range of home hedge trimming applications. The ComfortTouch wrap around anti-vibration handle makes it easy to maneuver and comfortable to use.
James continued, “Our machines are built to deal with the toughest gardening jobs. Thinking ahead and taking precautions will just add to the confidence you will have in getting the job done with more time to enjoy your garden, your family or anything else you would rather be doing.”
