OPERATING THE MACHINE
Before you start:
Dig away the earth and remove any stones near the
tree stump that may interfere with your work.
Check that the ground is free of foreign objects,
such as electrical cables, barbed wire, etc.
Cut or trim the stump as necessary using a power
saw.
Review all the machine’s safety decals.

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

particular and free from metallic objects
