• Lower spinning cutter wheel to stump
and make a few light passes at stump to
get a feel for the cutting action.
• Gradually increase cutting action and
work away at stump by swinging cutter
wheel left- to-right-to-left through stump
in a sideways motion. Smooth, effortless
cutting extends machine life, minimizes
downtime and is more profitable in the
long run.
• Continue cutting stump by adjusting
cutting wheel progressively lower until
stump is cut well below ground level.
• Raise and swing cutter wheel clear of
stump then position machine closer to
the stump for next series of passes.
Lower and continue cutting.
• Continue in this manner until stump has
been removed.
CAUTION
For optimal performance, the stump should be cut
with the portion of the cutter wheel shown.
Never undercut the stump. Undercutting the
stump can cause severe kickback, vibration, and
component damage.
Never cut the stump from the top. The cutter
wheel will throw debris up and toward the
operator, instead of down and under the machine.
• Larger stumps may require repositioning
machine to work at best advantages.
• Raise cutter wheel clear of stump and
return to center position.
• Reduce engine speed to idle. DO NOT
TURN OFF MOTOR. Engine must be
allowed to cool slowly at idle for 3-5
minutes to avoid damage.
!
DANGER
Engaging or Disengaging Cutter Wheel at High
Engine Speed Can Cause Personal Injury and
Machine Damage. Always Disengage Before
Turning Machine On/Off.
• With engine at idle (Approx. 1000 rpm),
disengage drive belts by slowly releasing
engagement handle.
• Turn off motor. Allow cutter wheel to
come to a complete stop before
inspecting work area.
