cutter wheel will result in serious bodily injury or death.
1. Disengage the cutter wheel.
2. Position the machine away from the stump.

For optimum performance, the stump should be cut with the portion of the cutter wheel shown below. Never

Never cut the stump from the top. The cutter wheel will throw debris up and toward the operator, instead of
down and under the machine.
