Removing Stumps
Remove all loose pieces of wood, stones, wire and other debris from the area before beginning
stump removal.
Wind direction should be considered, as it influences the direction in which dust and wood chips
are directed.
Never operate the stump grinder after dark. There will not be adequate light to operate the stump
grinder safely.
Always allow a cold engine to warm up
before cutting a stump.
Only the portion of cutting wheel within
the 80 degree area shown below should
engage the stump. Never undercut the
stump or use the bottom of the cutting
wheel for cutting purposes.
Prepare the Grinder at the Stump
Place the stump grinder into
position with the cutting wheel
near the top edge of the stump.
Removing Roots
1. Make sure the throttle is set
to FAST. The cutter wheel will
accelerate to cutting speed.
2. Swing the cutting wheel to
one side, then lower it into the
nearest roots that are buried at
the foot of the stump.
3. Swing the cutting wheel before
each sweep, until the roots are
sufficiently removed
4. Raise the cutting wheel until the center of the cutting wheel is just above the top of the stump.
5. Allow the cutting wheel to stop, release the brake and resposition the machine.
6. Lock the brake again.
