This  handbook  contains  rules  on  how  to  use  the  machine  properly  and 
details  of  the  hazards  that  may  be  encountered.  Besides  following  the 
rules,  the  operator  should  use  the  machine  sensibly,  based  on  his 
experience, and adopt all the necessary precautions to prevent accident or 
injury.  
The manufacturer  cannot  be  held  liable  for  any  alterations  to  the  machine 
that are not authorised in advance in writing. 
The stump grinder can only  be used for the milling of stumps and roots of 
trees felled. It  is not  allowed to use  it for other purposes (eg. Milling rocks 
or other materials). 
The  machine  must  only  be  operated  by  a  fully  qualified  person  who  is 
authorised  to  do  so  and  is  thoroughly  acquainted  with  the  operating 
principles and the inherent hazards.

7.1  GENERAL  SAFETY  AND  ACCIDENT-PREVENTION 
RULES 

 

  Basic rule: check the machine carefully each time before starting up. 

  Besides following the recommendations contained in this handbook, it is 

important  to  follow  the  general  safety  and  accident-prevention  rules. 
Before using the machine,  the operator must be fully  acquainted  with its 
features, devices, controls and functions. 

  Before setting to work, make sure the blades are properly secured. If they 

look damaged, they need to be sharpened or replaced. Mount the blades 
as  instructed  and  only  use  original  spares  supplied  by  the  manufacturer 
(or an authorised dealer).  

  Before  and  after  each  work  session,  check  that  the  guards,  covers  and 

safety  devices  are  correctly  installed  and  integral,  and  are  properly 
secured with nuts and bolts.  

  The  notices  on  the  machine  provide  a  series  of  important  instructions. 

They  are  there  to  enable  you  to  work  in  complete  safety.  Read  all  the 
safety stickers on the machine and follow the instructions on them. If they 
become damaged or unreadable, they need to be cleaned or replaced in 
the exact position, as described in the relevant section.  

  The  machine  must  only  be  used  in  an  open  space,  on  flat,  firm  ground 

that  is  free  from  obstacles.  Make  sure  the  machine  is  positioned  stably 
before operating. 

  Do not use the stump grinder in the rain.
