This video describes how to remove a tree stump using a grinder safely. A stump grinder is a powerful tool that can make light work of stumps and roots. With the help of a chain saw and shovel, you can use a stump grinder for various purposes, including cleaning up after a storm, removing trees, or clearing out land to make room for new homes and businesses.
Before using your stump grinder, ensure you learn how it works by reviewing the owner's manual to understand the safety features. If you are unsure how to start it, check with the manufacturer or contact someone who can help you. Wear protective gear, such as earmuffs or earplugs and eye protection. Also, wear closed-toe shoes, long pants, and a long-sleeved shirt to protect from debris that may fly off the stump grinder.
Remove loose rocks or debris around the area before beginning work on the tree stump or root system. Remove any underground electrical equipment that could be dangerous and cause accidents. You should also avoid operating at full throttle or applying excessive downward pressure. Never put your hands or feet near the spinning blade or climb on top of the stump.
