Operation

4. Grinding the Stump

WARNING: Flying Debris Hazard

Stones, chips, and debris can cause serious injury or property damage.

Debris can fly 75 ft in any direction out of the chute. They can bounce off

any fixed objects as well and hit operator, bystanders or breakable objects.

1. Set/engage the brake.

2. Pivot the grinder toward the side of the stump, with a fairly light touch feed straight into the

stump. As soon as you feed in, start to swing to the side until you feel the wheel drop off the

edge of the stump. Change direction and swing back the other way until you feel it reach the

other edge of the stump. As you swing to the side listen to the engine. Provide enough feed to

give it a moderate load. If you hear any belt or clutch squealing you are pushing too hard. If

you can’t swing it to the side, raise the grinder up.

You can cut roots off by plunging straight through them.

WARNING: Rotating cutter wheel.

Keep hands and feet away. Contact with wheel rotating teeth will cause

serious personal injury.

M1® Blueshark™ teeth are available in Standard Tooth (Solid Black), Sand & Clay Tooth

(Red Dot) or in a Rock Tooth Version (With Gold Dot). The Rock Tooth is a better choice if

you are experiencing chipping in Rocky Areas.

4. Release brake and pull machine towards you so that the "chip pile" is directly under the

cutting wheel.
