Make sure the control panel is locked in place. All guards and screens fitted to the machine
must be in place and intact. Further guards might be required to protect third party property.
Position yourself near the machine at the main control panel and atatch the safety strap as
shown making sure the key is plugged into the holder. Safety helmet, visor and ear
defenders must be worn along with steel toe cap boots, heavy full length trousers and
gloves. When the cord is pulled out accidentally or deliberately the cutter wheel will stop.
Use guards to protect property, vehicles and people from flying debris.
Turn the cutter selection button clockwise one step. The cutter wheel will start rotating. Use
the manual lever to increase the engine revs
Use the cutter slew lever to carefully and slowly slew the cutter across the front of the tree
stump taking the first cut. If the machine becomes excessively noisy or an excess of vibration
or obvious resistance to cutting is experienced stop cutting immediately and back the cutter
away from the tree stump. Turn off the engine and investigate the cause.
The slew speed of the cutter can be adjusted by turning the slew speed control knob.
Turning the knob clockwise will reduce slew speed.
Turning the knob counter clockwise will increase slew speed.
After completion of the first cut, i.e when the cutter
has passed completely across the tree stump and is clear of the opposite side of the stump,
the arm can be lowered a little by pushing the lift/lower lever forward. The machine is now
ready for the return cut in the opposite direction.
Repeat this until the desired depth is achieved. Then lift the arm to a height above the stump,
inch forward using the track levers and start the whole process again.
