•Never use the motor in environments where there is presence of inflammable substances
Placing the vibrating poker +motor in service
After unpacking the machine, proceed to:
•check whether the drive motor has been dented such as to impair its correct operation; above all, make sure that there is
no damage to the cable and switch.
•Make sure that the mains voltage available for powering the motor corresponds to the nameplate voltage
•Make sure that the work site control panel to which the motor is connected, is provided with remote contactor having
automatic trip and manual resetting.
•Check for presence and correct layout of the earth (ground) wire on the power socket available.
•Insert the poker in the shank of the motor, securing it with the screw.
•Place the shoulder strap on the motor and adjust the strap
•Insert the socket in the work site plug.
Motor start-up
After carrying out the preliminary operations for placing into service, the motor can be started merely by shifting the switch to
position 1; the drive motor then starts running thus vibrating the poker.
To stop the machine
To stop the motor at the end of the vibration operations, simply shift the switch back to its original position 0; the motor stops
within a brief time.
It is advisable to stop the motor when the poker is out of the concrete.

Emergency stop
If an emergency stop is to be made owing to a probable failure or for another reason, act promptly by turning the motor switch
to its original position 0.
Safety recommandations
•Avoid using the machine in wet zones or zones with high salinity.
•Do not allow the poker to operate when out of the concrete in order to avoid risk of overheating which could cause rapid
wear of the more highly stressed parts.
•Avoid use of the machine in the presence of inflammable substances (petrol, gas, solvents, paints...)
•Operate the machine in well-lit places.
•Observe the zone kept aside for use of the machine.
•In case of power failure, shift the switch to position 0.
Routine machine maintenance
Regularly perform the prescribed maintenance operations, namely:
•check for damage on the motor power supply cable, switch and plug; if they are found to be damaged, they MUST be
replaced by an expert technician.
•Make sure that the connection of the poker to the motor is not damaged or encrusted with inert residues; clean with
compressed air but avoid the motor slots.
•Make sure that the rubber hose of the poker is not torn or bent beyond repair; if it is, it should be replaced in good time by a
IMER S.p.A. servicing centre. All spare parts are available from IMER S.p.A. or its authorized dealers.
