OPERATION
Before you start
Dig away the earth and remove any stones near
the tree stump that may interfere with your work.

such as electrical cables, barbed wire, etc.
Cut or trim the stump as necessary using a power
saw.

Review all of the machine’s safety decals.

regulations and shutdown procedures
described previously in the operator’s manual.

Make sure that all guards are in place and in
good condition.
