operation warm-up, as previously discussed in this OPERATION section.

Keep everyone away when cutting wheel is ON!

! Lock the brake by pulling back the brake lever.

2. Remove roots

! Make sure the throttle is set to “FAST”. The cutter wheel is

thus accelerated to cutting speed.

! Swing the cutting wheel to one side, then lower it

approximately 1” into the nearside roots that are buried at

the foot of the stump. Swing the cutting wheel across the roots, back and forth, lowering cutting wheel approximately 1” before each sweep, until the roots are sufficiently removed.

! Raise the cutting wheel until centre of cutting wheel is just above the top of the stump. Allow the

cutter wheel to stop, release the brake, and reposition the machine. Lock the brake again.

wheel is thus accelerated to cutting speed.

! Direct the cutter wheel against the stump, beginning

with the nearside top corner of the stump, and steadily sweep it across the stump left and right,

cutting away / “ of wood with each sweep.

! Raise and lower the cutter wheel, between sweeps as

needed, by lowering and raising the control handle.

! Roll the machine forward and back, by pushing and

pulling on the control handle, between sweeps as needed, in order to progress into the stump. To do this, release the brake. Re-lock it when the machine has been repositioned, and continue cutting.

4. Continue with final roots removal

! Cut the remaining roots as described in STEP 2 until

satisfactorily removed.

5. Shut off the engine by releasing the operator presence lever.

Page 12

Machine Stopping

1. When stopping the machine after normal operation, lower engine speed to “SLOW”, and release operator presence control.

A rotating cutting wheel is very DANGEROUS! Stand at controls and ensure that cutting

wheel comes to a complete stop before doing anything else.

2. Set park brake before leaving controls.

3. Turn engine switch to “OFF”.

Helpful Tips for Operating Machine

1. Use smooth, comfortable speeds while operating.

2. When it is desired to cut smaller roots, it may be more effective to do so before, rather than after, cutting

the stump.

3. Should the chip build-up become excessive when cutting, shut off the machine, wait for the cutting wheel

to stop rotating, retract the machine from the stump, and rake away chips. It is also possible to use the cutter wheel to push chips off to the side.

4. On larger stumps, when cutting from one side, eventually a tyre may tend to roll into the hole. This may

be prevented by moving the machine to another side of the stump to continue removal, or by filling the hole with chips before continuing.
