• Remove all loose pieces of wood, stones, wire and other debris from the area
before beginning stump removal.
• Wind direction should be considered, as it inuences the direction in which dust
and wood chips are directed.
• Never operate the grinder aer dark.ere will be no adequate light for the
operator to use the grinder safely.
• Always allow a cold engine time to warm up before cutting a stump.
• Only the portion of cutting wheel within the 80 degree area shown above should
engage the stump. Never undercut the stump or use the bottom of the cutting
wheel for cutting purposes.
• Never leave controls when the cutting wheel is rotating.
Operating Tips!
• Use smooth, comfortable side to side movements while operating.
• When it is desired to cut smaller roots, it may be more eective to do so before
rather than aer cutting the stump.
• Should the chip build-up become excessive when cutting, shut o the machine,
wait for the cutting wheel to stop rotating, retract the machine from the stump
and rake away the chips. It is also possible to use the cutter wheel to push chips
o to the side.
• In order to prevent any of the wheels becoming stuck in the hole. Move the
grinder to the other side of the stump to continue removal or by lling the
hole with chips before continuing.
