TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Read all instructions Failure to follow the safety rules and other basic safety precau-
tions may result in serious personal injury.
The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers to your line-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA
1. Keep your work area clean and light. Cluttered benches and dark areas can cause
accidents.
2. DO NOT operate power tools in explosive environment such as flammable liquids, gases, or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control of power tools. Protect others in the work area from debris such as
chips and sparks. Use personal safety protection or shields as needed.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. DO NOT use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded.If the tools have electrical failure or break down,
grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
2. Double 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 does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a
polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the
need of three wires' grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
3. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigera-
tors. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
4. DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
5. DO NOT abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the tools or pull the
Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts.
Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
6. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”.
These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert. Foucs on what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power
tool. DO NOT use a power tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medicine. Crealess operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. Dress properly. DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewelry. Tie up long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair may be
entangled by moving parts.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging in. Carrying power
tools with holding on the Power Switch, or plugging in power tools when Power Switch is on,
can cause accidents.
4. DO NOT over reach. Keep proper standing and balance at all times. Proper standing and
balance enables better control of power tool in unexpected situations.
5. Use safety equipments. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, safety shoes, safety
helmet, or ear protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
USE AND CARE
1. DO NOT force the tool. use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will make
the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
2. DO NOT use the power tool if the Power Switch can not turn on or off properly. Any tool that
cannot be controlled by Power Switch is dangerous and must be replaced.
3. Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety actions reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
4. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous
when operated by untrained users.
5. Maintain tools carefully. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do not use” until
repaired.
6. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other
conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, repaire tool before using. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
7. Use accessories that are only recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accesso-
ries that is suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used in another tool.
SERVICE
1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Use of unauthorized parts or
failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Concrete Vibrator. The important information is in it.
2. Always wear safety eye goggles and heavy work gloves when using the Concrete Vibrator.
Using personal safety equipments reduce the risk for injury.
3. Maintain a safe working environment. Keep the work area light. Always keep the work area
free of obstructions, grease, oil, trash, and other debris. Do not use a power tool in areas
near flammable chemicals, dusts, and vapors. Do not use this product in a damp or wet
situation.
4. When using a hand-held power tool, always firmly hold the tool with both hands to resist
starting torque.
5. Always keep the electrical power cord away from moving parts on the tool.
6. Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure you are prepared to begin working before turning on
the Concrete Vibrator.

7. DO NOT force the Concrete Vibrator. This tool will do the work better and safer at the speed
and capacity for which it was designed.
8. Never leave the Concrete Vibrator unattended when it is plugged into an electrical outlet.
Turn off the tool, and unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving.
9. Always unplug the Concrete Vibrator from its electrical outlet before performing and
inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
10. Never carry the Concrete Vibrator by the Vibrating Head or Cable. Always carry it by the
Handle, supporting the head and cable.
11. Never take the Vibrator Head out of the concrete while it is running. Always turn off the unit
before removing it from concrete, otherwise it will throw concrete all over the worksite.
12. Keep water and concrete away from the Vibrator motor and do not allow it to enter the
Vibrator Head assembly. This could cause electric shock to the operator and damage the
motor and bearings.
13. People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic
fields close to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or failure. In addition,
people with pacemakers should:
•Avoid operating alone.•Don’t use with power switch locked on.
•Properly maintain and inspect to avoid electric shock.
•Any power cord must be properly grounded. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter(GFCI) should
also be implemented – it prevents sustained electric shock.
VIBRATION HAZARD
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term expose to vibration may cause temporary
or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk
of vibration-related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should firstly be examined
by doctor, and also have regular medical check-ups, to ensure medical problems not be
caused or worsened.
2. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past hand
injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool.
If you feel any uncomfortable symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness,
and white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible.
3. DO NOT smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
4. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects to the user.
5. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice between different processes.
6. Increase vibration-free rest time each day.
7. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it). Let the tool do the work
by vibration.
8. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as explained in this manual. If any abnormal vibration
occurs, stop working immediately.
