WORK AREA
åKeep work area clean, free of clutter and well lit. Cluttered and dark work areas can cause
accidents.
åDo not use your tool where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion; e.g. in the
presence of flammable liquids, gasses, or dust. Power tools create sparks, which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
åKeep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control, so visitors should remain at a safe distance from the work area.
åBe aware of all power lines, electrical circuits, water pipes and other mechanical
hazards in your work area, particularly those hazards below the work surface hidden from
the operator’s view that may be unintentionally contacted and may cause personal harm or
property damage.
åBe alert of your surroundings. Using power tools in confined work areas may put you
dangerously close to cutting tools and rotating parts.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING: Always check to ensure the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the
rating plate.
åThe electric motor has been designed for 110V only. Always check that the power
supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. Before performing any maintenance
work on the concrete vibrator itself, disconnect the vibrator from the power supply.
åAlways keep this vibrator clean for better and safer performance. Inspect the power cord
periodically and if damaged, have it repaired by a repairman. Inspect extension cords
periodically and replace them if damaged.
åDo not abuse the cord, never carry the vibrator by the cord or yank it to disconnect the
vibrator from the power source. Keep power and extension cords away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords may cause a
fire and increase the risk of electric shock
åAvoid body contact with earth or ground surface. Do not carry this vibrator with a finger on
the switch. Ensure switch is off when plugging in to the power source. Always ensure that
the vibrator is properly insulated. Always pay attention to the cable or cable guard. Don’t
use a coolant or water near the vibrator; do not use the vibrator if your power connection
isn’t in good operation or you detect a sparking problem.
åGrounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all codes and ordinances.Never remove the grounding prong or modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you
are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
åDouble insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still doesn’t fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a
polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
åWhen operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or
“W.” These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
åExtension Cord Use:
1. Use only ‘Listed’ extension cords. If used outdoors, they must be marked “For Outdoor
