The engine can become very hot. To avoid being burned, you must turn off the engine and wait until
all parts have sufficiently cooled before touching the engine or exhaust.
Overexposure to vibration may lead circulatory or nerve damage, particularly in people who have
impaired circulation. Contact your doctor if you experience symptoms that could have been caused
by overexposure to vibration. Examples of common symptoms include numbness, pain, muscle
weakness, change of skin color or an uncomfortable feeling of tingling. These symptoms appear
most frequently in the fingers, hands or wrists.
NEVER use a stump grinder that is damaged or incorrectly adjusted. NEVER use the stump grinder
if any component is missing or if it is not properly assembled. ALWAYS check that the cutting tools
stop rotating when you fully reduce the throttle. If you find yourself in a situation where you are not
sure what to do, you MUST always seek expert assistance. DO NOT try to solve any problem you are
not qualified to resolve.
Before starting work you MUST clear the work area of any unnecessary materials, rubbish etc. that
may cause the user to trip, slip or fall or the stump grinder to become entangled.
You MUST always wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
