OPERATION
Before you start
Dig away the earth and remove any stones near the tree stump that may interfere with your work. Check that the ground is free of foreign objects, such as electrical cables, barbed wire, etc.
Cut or trim the stump as necessary using a power saw.
• Review all of the machine’s safety decals.
•Use a hard hat, ear and eye protection. A mesh visor alone does not provide sufficient eye

•Make sure that all guards are in place and in good condition.
•Make sure that the blades and cutters are in place and in good condition.

•Make sure that everyone, including children and animals, maintains a distance of at least 50 feet (15 M) from the machine. Debris can be thrown
