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.
