BEFORE STARTING

THE ENGINE

1.

2. Check the condition of working

area to avoid any accident by hit-

ting hidden obstacles such as

stumps, stones, cans, or broken

glass.

 

IMPORTANT

Remove any obstacle before begin-

ning work.

3. Inspect the entire unit for loose

fasteners and fuel leakage. Make

sure that the cutting attachment

is properly installed and securely

fastened.

STARTING THE ENGINE

1. Keep bystanders, especially chil-

dren, and animals at least 15 m

away from the operating point. If

you are approached, immediately

stop the engine.

2. The product is equipped with a

centrifugal clutch mechanism, so

the cutting attachment begins to

move as soon as the engine is

started by putting the throttle into

the start position. When starting

the engine, place the product

onto the ground in a flat clear area

and hold it firmly in place so as to

ensure that neither the cutting

part nor the throttle come into

contact with any obstacle when

the engine starts.

 

IMPORTANT

Check and follow the local regula-

tions as to sound level and hours of

operations for the product.

 

WARNING

•  Never place the throttle into the

high-speed position when start-

ing the engine.

3.

USING THE PRODUCT

 

IMPORTANT

1. Grip the handles firmly with both

hands using your whole hand.

Place your feet slightly apart

(slightly further apart than the

width of your shoulders) so that

your weight is distributed evenly

across both legs, and always be

sure to maintain a steady, even

posture while working.

2. Maintain the speed of the engine

at the level required to perform

drilling work, and never raise the

speed of the engine above the

necessary level.

3. If the unit starts to shake or vi-

brate, turn off the engine and

check the whole unit. Do not use

it until the trouble has been prop-

erly corrected.

4. Keep all parts of your body away

from moving drilling attachment

and hot surfaces.

5.

6. While operating the machine be

always sure of a safe and secure

operating  position  especially

when using steps or a ladder.

 

5. For safe operation

5

After starting the engine, check 

to make sure that the drill stops 

moving when the throttle is 

moved fully back to its original 

position.  If it continues to move 

even after the throttle has been 

moved fully back, turn off the 

engine and contact your author-

ized Kiam dealer.

The area within a perimeter of 

15m of the person using the 

machine should be considered 

a hazardous area in which no 

one should enter.  If necessary, 

warning signs should be placed 

around the perimeter of the area.  

When work is to be performed 

simultaneously by two or more 

people, care should also be 

taken to regularly look around 

and check for the presence and 

locations of other people work-

ing to help maintain a safe 

distance between each person.

Never touch the exhaust, spark 

plug or other metallic parts of the 

engine while the engine is in use 

or immediately after turning the 

engine off.  Doing so may cause 

burns or electrical shocks.

Drill only materials recommended by

the manufacturer. And use only for

tasks explained in the manual.
