Whether you’re using a petrol or cordless chainsaw it is imperative that you wear the correct personal protective equipment. No PPE can ensure complete protection against cutting from a chainsaw. But it is possible to offer a certain degree of protection, which could make all the difference should an accident happen. In this video, we’ll look at the correct PPE to wear when using a chainsaw, showcasing some of the STIHL PPE range.
Before you pick up your chainsaw, you should ALWAYS make sure you are wearing the following:
🔶 STIHL Chainsaw trousers with cut protection. The cut protective material in chainsaw trousers is full of individual fibres so if a moving chain comes into contact with the blocking material, the saw rips out the fibres which block the sprocket and stop the saw.
🔶 You also need to wear safety boots or wellies with steel-toe caps, chainsaw protective material and non-slip soles. Take a look at our STIHL rubber chainsaw boots using the link below.

🔶 To reduce the risk of eye injuries, you should wear safety glasses. They need to be a good fit to avoid gaps round the edges where flying debris could reach your eye.
🔶 As well as safety glasses, you should also wear a face shield, or if you are working in an area where there is a risk of branches, you should wear a safety helmet.
🔶 Wear heavy-duty work gloves made of a durable material. The STIHL Protect MS FUNCTION gloves have cut protection patches on the back to protect your hands too.
🔶 You should also wear ear protection if your chainsaw is petrol or electric. Ear protection isn’t necessary if you are using a STIHL cordless chainsaw as they are so quiet!
If in doubt, always check the instruction manual for your STIHL tool which can be found on www.stihl.co.uk. When it comes to having the best fabrics and protection in all the right places, STIHL PPE has you covered. Find out more at stihl.co.uk or your nearest STIHL approved dealer using the link below.
