Grinding a Stump
DANGER
The grinder will cut and amputate hands and feet.
• Stay in the operating position while the grinder
is running and keep away from the grinder.
• Keep all bystanders a safe distance from the
grinder.
• Stop the grinder immediately if any people or
animals enter the work area.
WARNING
Grinding a stump will throw wood chips, soil, and
other debris into the air which could injure you or
bystanders.
• Always wear eye protection when using the
grinder.
• Keep all bystanders a safe distance from the
grinder.
WARNING
The grinder is very loud when cutting a stump and
can damage your ears.
Always wear hearing protection when using the
grinder.
1. Start the engine, raise the grinder, set the throttle lever
to the Fast position, and move the machine to the
stump to be ground.
2. Use the grinder control lever and the traction control
to position the grinder to the side of the front of the
stump, about 2 cm (1 inch) below the surface (Figure
22).
3. Start the grinder and wait for it to get up to full speed.
4. Use the grinder control lever to swing the grinder
slowly across the face of the stump, cutting away a
swath of chips (Figure 22).
Important: The grinder will automatically slow
down the speed at which it swings into the stump
to maintain the optimum flywheel speed and not
bog down in the wood.
