Eye protection

From BonsaiWIKI

Always wear eye protection when working with hand or power tools!

  • Bonsai tools are very hard and can chip or splinter under pressure
  • Power tools like grinders, wire brushes and sanders can throw debris, grit or even even pieces of the tool.
  • Chemicals, fungicides and insecticide may be hazards
  • Bonsai artists have suffered eye injury by bending over growing containers that contain bamboo stakes.
  • Abrasive, volcanic soils can be an eye irritant during sifting or repotting.
