• EPI categoría III: Of the listed protective gear, the helmet (casco forestal) is categorized as III.
• Optional EPI: The harness (arnés de desbroce) is not mandatory when working with a brush cutter.
• Pictogram EPI: The picture of the image corresponds to the protection for the shins (espinilleras).
• Desplazamiento con desbrozadora: When traversing without changing cutting area, it's best to keep the machine at idle (llevaremos la máquina al ralentí) and the blade cover (colocaremos el protector) in place.
• Ruido: The correct solution to prevent noise related damage while using a brush cutter is to wear earplugs or other hearing protection.
• Marking on eyewear: The "N" mark on the brush cutter glasses indicates anti-fog treatment.

• Height restrictions: The cutting blade of a brush cutter cannot exceed the height of the shoulders. (No podremos elevar el elemento de corte...). The exceptions is if a circular saw is used.
• Priority cutting zones: Areas of taller vegetation, like 1-meter tall ferns, should be cleared before areas with taller, like 1.5 meters tall, bushes.
• Brush cutter operating: When using a brush cutter, never adjust the tool with the engine running.
• Brush cutter hillside operation: When working on slopes, follow contour lines (curvas de nivel) to avoid loss of control.
• Emergency Protocol: The PAS protocol stands for "Prevenir-Avisar-Socorrer."
• Unconscious, no breathing victim: Initial interventions for an unconscious and non-breathing person include checking for a pulse and then starting chest compressions.
• CPR cessation: CPR can be stopped when there are visible signs of the patient returning to life.
• Partial airway obstruction: The Heimlich maneuver should be used when a person can't breathe but can still make some sounds while choking.
