- Transport the machine to another site with the engine off by pushing or
towing.
- Keep all work safety instructions to avoid any risks of injury.
- When going to another working site always ascend and descend slopes very
carefully and with the cutting head up the hill.
- Be careful when going down the hill. We recommend pushing the machine
forward, not to tow it. When going up the hill it is necessary to tow the
machine (if necessary by two persons).
- Always adapt transport speed to current terrain conditions.
- On the working site move the machine in front of the stump to be cut.
- Set the cutter so that
- it stands on a flat and firm base or declined up to 11
o
;
- it is possible to swing with grip (while cutting) according to particular chips
up to 1 cm;
- it is possible to push the cutter continuously into a bite in accordance with
required particular chips or into a halve of the given stump at least;
- it is possible to cut under the ground;
- it is possible to keep space for putting the cutter aside in a stabile position
for the purpose of further chips removal;
- it is possible to direct flying chips out of places with possible motion of
persons;
- if necessary, remove some soil to make the given stump more accessible to
avoid digging the soil (with stones) by the cutting head.
- Set the cutter to a stump to be able to cut it in swinging motion and to take
particular stump layers off.
- Start the machine – see chap. Putting into Operation.
- After a short warming-up, especially in winter, set the controls and the
accelerator lever for necessary working speed.
- While cutting, let both wheels braked.
- Run slowly up and start cutting with thinner wood chips (swinging the grip)
and go on faster if possible according to actual engine load. While swinging
the grip, we recommend covering the whole stump profile.
- WARNING!! The grip may have a return impact while cutting the first chips
so that it is necessary to hold the grip with both hands (together with the dead-
man lever).
- Having cut the first stump layer off, it is possible to let the cutting head sink
by lifting the grip and to repeat the swinging motion for the next layer (see
fig.) or to release the wheel brake and to push the cutter forward for further
approximately 2 cm and to cut the next layer.
