Stop the engine using the following steps:
1. While holding cutting wheel off ground,
release the operator presence bar. Wait
until the cutting wheel completely stops.
Lower the cutting wheel so it is resting
against the ground.
2. Make sure brake is set before leaving the
controls, particularly if you are on an
incline.
3. Turn engine switch to OFF position.
4. Allow the engine to cool for at least 5
minutes before releasing brake and
moving to storage or transporting. A hot
engine can be a fire hazard.
WARNING: Flying Debris Hazard
Stones, chips, and debris can cause serious injury or property damage.
Debris can fly 75 ft. in any direction out of the chute. They can bounce off
any fixed objects as well and hit operator, bystanders or breakable objects.
1. Set/engage the brake.
Note: Always make sure the cutting teeth are not in contact with anything before operating the
throttle lever. Damage can occur to clutch if the cutting wheel is not free to rotate when the
throttle is activated.
2. Pivot the grinder toward the side of the stump with the cutter wheel off the ground, and not
touching the stump. Hold down throttle control lever and allow the cutting wheel to begin
turning. Once the cutting wheel has reached full speed, lower it approximately 1/2" to 1" into
the front-top corner of the stump. Slowly pivot the cutting wheel back and forth, lowering the
cutting wheel approximately 1/2" to 1" before each sweep, until you have removed the front
portion of the stump to ground level.
WARNING: Rotating cutter wheel.
Keep hands and feet away. Contact with cutter wheel rotating teeth will
cause serious personal injury.
Note: If the engine bogs down at any point while grinding, move the cutter wheel away from
stump and allow cutter wheel to come back up to full speed before you resume grinding.
3. Raise cutting wheel until center of wheel is just above top of stump.
4. With cutting wheel off to one side, advance the machine horizontally by releasing and resetting
the brake. Advance the machine forward to engage the cutting wheel into the stump so that
when swept across the stump it will remove 1/2" to 1" of stump with each sweep.
