1.1 Overview
The stump grinder is designed to be used on site
to remove softwood and hardwood tree stumps by
reducing the stumps to chips and dust.
The stump grinder is designed to be used by
experienced operators, trained in the safe
operation of a skidsteer and trained in the hazards
related to using the stump grinder and the safe use
of the grinder for the intended purpose. Operators
will require personal protective equipment to
reduce the risk from some hazards that cannot be
completely eliminated or controlled by the design
of the tool.
Each model in the family is intended to be used
within the stump size limits shown in the catalog
and in the implement specications in the manual.
Care is required to ensure that the stump grinding
tool will not come across metallic objects, stones
or other materials harder than a typical stump
while grinding.
The stump grinder is not designed for use in
hazardous atmospheres where there is a risk
of re or explosion due to ammable gases or
vapors. Use in hazardous, explosive atmospheres
is prohibited.
Serious injury or death of the operator or bystanders
may be caused if the tool is misused. Misuse may
also cause damage to the skidsteer carrying the
implement.
