But like any power tool and equipment, certain risks are associated with using a garden leaf blower, such as the tendency to cause debris and dust to fly around. If you are not wearing appropriate clothing when operating a garden leaf blower, debris and dust can sometimes mess you up and even hurt you. In addition, they can produce loud sounds that can cause temporary or permanent damage to your ears, so you need to ensure you are properly covered and protected when using your garden leaf blower. Here are some safety equipment tips to help you operate your garden leaf blower more safely.

Leaf blowers expel strong air to move leaves and debris. Dust, dirt, debris, and small stones will fly around and can fly into your eyes, making you feel uncomfortable, but it can even cause vision impairment when hit, which is why you need to wear proper goggles such as goggles or safety glasses.

Leaf blowers produce sound when opened, and prolonged exposure to this noise causes hearing damage, so it is important to wear ear muffs.

When using a leaf blower, it will also blow a lot of dust. This dust can cause minor irritation if the nose and mouth are exposed, but in the case of other harmful particles, it may cause permanent damage to the operator's lungs and blood. That is why we recommend you wear a dust mask to prevent dust and particles from entering your lungs through breathing.

(4) Always wear protective clothing when using the garden leaf blower.

Using and operating a garden leaf blower is a challenging task. Wearing the proper personal protective equipment will prevent leaves and debris from hitting you. Avoiding loose jackets with necklaces or jewelry on the inside and wearing long sleeves and long pants are recommended as the best way to protect yourself from flying debris.

(5) Quality gloves.

Wearing gloves is necessary to ensure that your grip on the garden leaf blower is stable and does not slip. Your hands will also get sweaty from prolonged use of power. In addition, you may need to pick something up from the ground, and gloves can be more effective in protecting your hands.

(6) Closed shoes.

Don't wear flip-flops and open-toed shoes when operating a garden leaf blower because some flying debris may end up hitting your feet. It is best to keep yourself safe by wearing proper closed shoes.
