Cutting Wheel Precautions
• NEVER go near the cutting wheel when the machine is
turned on. Turn off the machine first.
• Always cut with the machine downhill, below the stump.
• Use extreme caution on slopes. Slopes, combined with
less than ideal traction (ice, snow, gravel, leaves, wet
grass) can allow the machine to move unexpectedly.
NOTICE
Remove all loose pieces of wood, stones, wire and
other debris from the work area before beginning
stump removal.
NOTICE
Wind direction should be considered, as it
influences the direction that dust and wood chips
will be directed.
NOTICE
Always allow a cold engine time to warm-up before
cutting a stump.
NOTICE
When swinging the cutting wheel, DO NOT use
the cutting wheel or boom to stop the swinging
motion. Inspect the machine for damage if the
boom as been swung too hard into the stump or
side of a hole.
BEFORE ENGAGING THE CUTTER WHEEL,
THE OPERATOR MUST ENSURE THE AREA
IS CLEAR OF ANYONE OR ANYTHING THAT
MAY BE HARMED BY THE CUTTER WHEEL, OR
FLYING DEBRIS.
NEVER LEAVE THE CONTROLS WHEN THE
CUTTING WHEEL IS ROTATING.
NOTICE
The speed at which the blade moves is dependant
on the position of the throttle. To increase the rate
of blade movement, increase the engine RPM’s by
adjusting th throttle higher. Decrease the engine
RPM’s to decrease the rate of blade movement.
NOTICE
Only the portion of cutting wheel within the 80°
area shown above should engage stump. Never
undercut the stump or use the bottom of the
cutting wheel for cutting purposes.
