1. 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.
2. Check the condition of working area to avoid any accident by hitting hidden obstacles
such as stumps, stones, cans, or broken glass. Remove any obstacle before beginning work.
3. Inspect the entire unit for loose fasteners and fuel leakage. Make sure that the
cutting attachment is properly installed and securely fastened.
1. Keep bystanders, especially children, 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.
• Never place the throttle into the high-speed position when starting the
engine.
• Never start the engine at the cutting attachment side.
3. After starting the engine, check to make sure that the cutting attachment 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 authorized Kiam
dealer.
