CUTTING INTO HARD OR FROZEN GROUND OR DITCHING 3
For digging and ditch excavation of hard or frozen ground, tilt
the blade. Even hard ground can be dug effectively by a tilted
or angled blade.
FELLING TREES, REMOVING STUMPS 3
NOTICE
Do not uproot trees or stumps or fell trees by angling or tilting the blade.
For trees with a diameter of 10 to 30 cm (3.9 to 11.8 in), raise
the blade high and push 2 or 3 times to fell the tree.
Next, travel in reverse, and dig the corner of the blade into the
ground to cut and dig up the roots.
When doing this, never hit the tree at high speed or apply
shock to fell the tree.
