3. Pay attention to comfort
and safety features.
Quality hand-held outdoor
power equipment has a lot of ergonomic features built in. Look for them.
They'll make your machine less fatiguing to operate, improve your confidence
and control, conserve your energy, keep you safe, and let you get more
done.
Features to look
for:
- An anti-vibration system
for smooth operation.
- Optimal power, less weight.
Compare engine power and equipment weight.
- Good balance. Balanced
equipment is less tiring to use, easier to control.
- Throttle-valve carburetor
and primer system to make starting easy.
- Proper, hand-friendly
controls and grips.
- A translucent,
bottom-mounted, rubber-isolated gas tank with tank protector.
- A shielded muffler with
spark-arrestor.
- A wide fuel tank filler
opening, to eliminate spills.
- Comfortable carrying straps
to give your back a break.
