1.3 Safety instructions for particular operating phases
Before starting the work
•Before commencing work, make yourself familiar with the working environment at the place of
use. The working environment includes: obstacles in the area of work and manoeuvre, the
firmness of the floor, necessary protection at the site relating to public thoroughfares and the
availability of help in the event of accidents.
•Plate compactors must only be used for compaction jobs observing safety and operating
instructions.
•People who work with plate compactors must know everything regarding safety instructions.
•Do not take drugs or drink alcohol before using plate compactors.
•Always wear appropriate protective clothes (ear protections, gloves, protecting shoes and
helmet).
•Do not alterate the operation devices of the plate compactor.
•Do not leave control elements during compaction.
•Store the compactor with engine off in a safe place.
•Do not smoke when using compactor. Keep the compactor out of open flames.
•Always wear appropriate protective clothes.
•When the work area is near slopes, the compactor could turn over.
•When you use compactor in reverse and in a narrow place, the operator must be sideways
from the handle in order to avoid stumbling.
•Always operate in safe conditions in order to avoid accidents.
•Always operate in maximum stability conditions.
•Use transport wheels only for movements in yard. In all the other situations they must be
removed.
•Always make sure of the proper functioning of the safety and control devices.
•If there are any problems, stop immediately the machine and inform the person responsible of
the yard.
•Attention is drawn to the use of BS2092 safety goggles in conformity with specified Processes
No.8 of the Protection of Eyes Regulation 1974, Regulation 2(2) Part 1. and additional dusk
mask for dry cutting (only in exceptionally cases).

2 MACHINE DESCRIPTION
Any modification, which could lead to a change in the original characteristics of the machine, may be
done only by Saint-Gobain Abrasives who shall confirm that the machine is still in conformity with the
safety regulations.
2.1 Short description
The compactor CPF13 W B is suitable for repairing asphalted surfaces, for small compacting jobs
and for preparing green areas
As with all other NORTON products, the operator will immediately appreciate the attention given to
detail and quality of materials used in construction. The machine and its component parts are
assembled to high standards assuring long life and minimum maintenance.
2.2 Purpose of use
The vibration required for tamping is produced by the exciter which is on the compacting plate.
The engine starts the exciter and the torque is transmitted by the centrifugal clutch and by the belt.
In order to allow the idling of the drive engine, the centrifugal clutch, at low engine speeds, interrupts
the flow of power to exciter.
The engine supporting and the compacting plates are connected by 4 shockmount, which are
mounted to avoid that vibrations reach the operator.
Only use the machine for the purpose for which it is intended.
2.3 Layout

Handle (1)
Jig welded steel construction is connected by 4 shockmount on the frame of the machine to reduce
the vibrations reach the operator
Belt drive and belt cover (2)
A centrifugal clutch inside the engine pulley drives the gear shaft through V-Belts. It allows to gradually
engaging the vibration of the machine. The drive assembly is enclosed in a metal guard.
Water tank (3)
Resistant plastic water tank
Battery motor and control panel (4)
The eGX battery engine from Honda which integrates the battery directly on the engine
On the control panel you can find:
- The Power button
- The ON/OFF switch
- The 3 LEDs (green, orange and red) to indicate the state of the motor
Lifting eye (5)
To lift the machine easily and safely, a lifting eye is located over the engine. This allows a balanced
lifting of the machine.
Eccentric element (6)
In our compactors the system of eccentric elements has been optimized by moving the weight to the
right side of the axle, so that less weight counteracts the movement at start-up.
Less power is required to initiate the vibratory action, reducing energy consumption at start-up by
50%.
Plate (7)
The plates have rounded edges and raised to avoid marking the surface
Shock absorbers (8)
The engine supporting and the compacting plates are connected by 4 shockmount, which are
mounted to avoid that vibrations reach the operator.

3.2 Battery’s fixation and starting up the machine
•Switch on the battery by pressing the Power button (1) (the switch must be in the OFF position)
the 3 LEDs will lit.
•Wait until the green LED on the control panel is the only one lit
•Put the switch to ON to start the motor and the rotation of the blade (2)
NOTE: When removing the battery, remember to replace the plastic cover on the motor plug to keep
it clean.
NOTE: These operations must be done each time the motor is restarted (even if the engine has just
been stopped).
To stop the machine, put the switch on the control panel to OFF.
CAUTION: when the machine is switched off, the tools will continue turning slowly to complete stop.
Be therefore very careful to avoid injuries.

3.3 Charging the battery
This machine works with a battery, so you have to think about charging it. A fast charger is available
for this. It will take between 1h and 1h30 to recharge a full battery charge. When charging the battery,
the charger fan turns on to prevent the battery from heating up. The charger will stop automatically
once the battery is fully charged, but the fan will remain on for a while to keep the battery cool.
NOTE: The battery must not be charged at a temperature equal to or lower than 5°C.

4 OPERATING THE MACHINE
4.1 Site of work
•Remove from the site anything, which might hinder the working procedure!
•Make sure the site is sufficiently well lit!
•Make sure you have a continual adequate view of the working area so you can intervene in the
working process at any time!
•Keep other staff out of the area, so you can work securely.
4.2 Preparing the site
Ad equation to compaction, it will be necessary to identify the characteristics of soils and material, to
study their ability
5 TRANSPORT AND STORING
5.1 Transport procedure
Conform yourself to work regulations, in order to transport the machine safely. To help you transport
the machine, you can remove the transport tube from under the handle and located in the front hole
of the machine.
5.2 Long period of inactivity
If the machine is not going to be used for a long period, completely clean the machine and
disassemble the tools. The storage site must be clean, dry and at a constant temperature.
