CUTTING BLADE
Among the most critical elements of the Stump Machine is the cutting blade. It is also the
most subject to damage and wear. In the course of cutting stumps it not only makes contact
with the wood, but also encounters numerous assortments of abrasives and objects in the
stump's environment, such as dirt, stones, and occasionally a large rock or buried scrap. The
loss of and wear of cutting teeth can significantly impair the efficiency and performance of the
Stump Machine. Therefore, it is important to make frequent observations of the condition of
all of the cutting teeth and replace or sharpen any damaged or worn blade sections. Read all
of the following instructions before beginning to change cutting blade sections.
