Vibrator / Battery protection system

- 8 -
The Vibrator is equipped with a Vibrator/battery protection system. This system
automatically cuts off power to the motor to extend Vibrator and battery life. The
Vibrator will automatically stop during operation if the Vibrator or battery is
placed under one of the following conditions:
Overload protection
When the Vibrator or battery is operated in a manner that causes it to draw an
abnormally high current, the Vibrator stops automatically. In this situation, turn the
Vibrator off and stop the application that caused the Vibrator to become
overloaded. Then turn the Vibrator on to restart.
NOTE:If the Vibrator does not restart smoothly, cease operation for a period
longer than one minute, or remove the battery cartridge from the Vibrator and
place it back in the Vibrator before a restart.
Over-discharge protection
When the battery capacity is not enough, the Vibrator stops automatically. In this
case, remove the battery from the Vibrator and charge the battery.
Protections against other causes
The protection system is also designed for other causes that could damage the
Vibrator and allows the Vibrator to stop automatically. Take all the following steps
to clear the causes, when the Vibrator has been brought to a temporary halt or
stopped in operation.
1. Turn the Vibrator off, and then turn it on again to restart.
2. Charge the battery(ies) or replace it/them with recharged battery(ies).
3. Let the Vibrator and battery(ies) cool down.

Uninstallation
Follow the installation steps in reverse order
Installing shoulder strap
WARNING: Wearing multiple harnesses and straps may impair the chances to take the
equipment off quickly in case of emergency and result in personal injury.
WARNING:Do not use the parts for attaching the shoulder strap for other purposes, such
as fall prevention at a high location. If the parts for attaching the shoulder strap are used for
other purposes, the excessive load may break them and cause serious injury to the
operator and the person around/ underneath the operator.
Hang the hooks of the shoulder strap over the hanging holes on top of the Vibrator.

1. Shoulder strap
2. Hook
3. Hanging hole
CAUTION: Be sure to attach the hooks of the shoulder strap to the Vibrator securely. If the
hooks are attached incompletely, they may come off and cause injury.
CAUTION: Be sure to use the shoulder strap dedicated to this Vibrator. Using other
shoulder strap may cause an injury.
OPERATION
CAUTION: Put the shoulder strap on the shoulder, and hold the Vibrator firmly with both
hands.
NOTICE: At the very beginning of the operation, the flexible shaft tends to vibrate at a
higher amplitude. The Vibrator will restore the normal amplitude after you squeeze and
release the switch trigger a few times repeatedly.
Make sure to throw in and keep the vibration head stand straight during operation. Use the
Vibrator within the effective vibration ranges at equidistant intervals. The effective air
bubble removal range is approximately ten times the diameter of the vibration head.

- 14 -
NOTICE: Do not use the Vibrator to move concrete in the formwork. The mortar will just
move away and the coarse aggregate will remain, causing segregation.
Effective leveling and removal of air bubbles Removal of the air bubbles is complete after
you have worked the Vibrator throughout each effective range, the concrete stops shrinking,
and the mortar has risen evenly to the surface, giving off a light appearance. Gently
remove the operating Vibrator not to leave holes. When using the Vibrator on a slope,
always operate it from the bottom at the beginning. If you operate the Vibrator from the top,
the mortar will separate and eventually slide to the bottom.

- 15 -
NOTE: Vibrating Vibratorong in a single place causes concrete segregation.
NOTE: When the coarse aggregate segregates when placing concrete, shovel out the
coarse aggregate and put it where there is plenty of mortar. Then use the Vibrator on it.
Don't leave coarse aggregate in the segregated condition.

- 16 -
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Always be sure that the Vibrator is switched off and the battery cartridge is
removed before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
NOTICE: Never use gasoline, benzene, thinner, alcohol, or the like. Discoloration,
deformation, or cracks may result.
NOTICE: Avoid cleaning the Vibrator in water. Water will get into the motor housing and
cause motor failure.
NOTICE: Use a wet cloth or the like to carefully wipe off any wet concrete left on the
Vibrator after use. Extra care should be given to thorough cleaning of the vents, switch
area, cover openings, etc.
