16SG OPERATOR’S MANUAL REVISED 2/16/17 Page 10 of 18
OPERATOR PREPARATION
Each operator must:
•
Become familiar with the controls and operation of the stump grinder, preferably under the supervision
of an experienced operator.
•
Be at least 18 yrs. of age and be mentally and physically capable of operating the stump grinder safely.
•
Have studied the SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS in this manual.
PERSONAL PROTECTION: For safety, stump grinder operator should wear personal protection
equipment. Keep observers at a safe distance and do not operate if people are near, especially children and
pets.
Wear a face safety shield and hard hat while operating or
observing!
WARNING
: The cutter wheel may throw wood chips,
stones and debris.
Wear safety boots and gloves. Wear close-fitting clothing.
Contain long hair. Do not wear jewelry. Wear reflective clothing
if working near traffic.
Wearing adequate hearing (ear) protection while operating or
observing is recommended.
WARNING
: Exposure to loud noise is cumulative
Hearing protection devices do not all provide the same level of
protection. Those that completely surround each ear are better
than earplugs. It is important to select a device that is adequate and appropriate for your specific work
environment since the peak noise level varies. A local environmental noise specialist may help you to
determine the level of hearing protection required.

standard ISO 3744: 1994
NOTE 1 - The sum of a measured noise emission value and its associated uncertainty represents an
upper boundary of the range of values, which is likely to occur in measurements.
Values listed above are rounded to the nearest decibel according to ISO 4871
Noise Emissions Directive result.
Guaranteed sound power level
107 dB
NOTE - The guaranteed sound power level is calculated from unrounded values, and may differ from the values above
