Cut or trim the stump as low to ground as required using a power saw.
Never operate the stump grinder after dark. There will not be adequate lighting for the operator to
use the machine safely.
Always allow a cold engine time to warm up before use.
For best results, only the portion of cutting wheel within the 80-degree area shown below should be
in contact with the stump.
Never leave controls when the cutting wheel is rotating and stop the engine when machine is left
unattended.
REMOVING STUMPS – OPERATION TIPS
Use smooth, comfortable side to side movements while operating, pivoting the arc on the locked
left hand wheel.
When it is desired to cut smaller roots, it may be more effective to do so before rather than after
cutting the main stump.
Should the chip build-up become excessive when cutting, stop the engine, wait for the cutting wheel
to stop rotating, retract the machine from the stump and rake away the chips.
In order to prevent the wheels becoming stuck in the hole. Move the grinder to the other side of the
stump to continue removal or by filling the hole with chips before continuing.
PREPARE THE GRINDER AT THE STUMP
Place the stump grinder into position with the cutting wheel near the top edge of the stump.
