Page 15: Grinding Tips
GRINDING TIPS Clear the work area of debris, branches and rocks. Operate the cutter with engine at full throttle. Listen to engine speed and watch cutter wheel speed. Adjust swing speed and cut depth to maintain high engine and cutter speed. Avoid bogging the engine and stalling cutter wheel.
