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 and bounce off objects and hit operator, bystanders or 
breakable objects. 

 

 

On these larger stumps, DO NOT allow grinder wheels to drop into stump hole. If a hole 
is in the way of your progress, fill it with chips or change position.

Stop engine and set brake before leaving operator's position.  KEEP BRAKE ENGAGED 
except when changing locations. 

 

10.  When finished, stop the machine. 

11.  Pull machine away from stump, and rake chips away from stump.
