stand the following safety information. It is the responsibility of the operator to fully understand how to operate
this equipment safely. If you are not sure consult your supervisor.
Points to remember are:
1. Keep unauthorised personnel at a safe distance from the work area.
2. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) must be worn by the operator whenever this equipment is being

tect skin from contact with concrete.
3. Ensure that the compressor does not exceed 90 psi.

use for condition and safety. If any parts are damaged or missing do not use the vibrator until it is re-
paired or replaced.
5. The air supply must be switched off before any work is carried out on the vibrator. To prevent accidental
starting of the vibrator, it must be disconnected from the air supply.
6. The vibrator should never be left running out of concrete as it will become extremely hot and internal parts
will be damaged. Caution must be exercised when touching the vibrator head.
7. When the vibrator is not used for long periods of time, store it in a clean, dry and protected environment.
It must be hung up with the head upwards and the control handle open to allow moisture etc. to escape

8. Some vibration from vibrator is transmitted through the flexible hose to the operator’s hands. The hose
should not be held within 1 metre from the head of the vibrator at any time. Operational exposure time
may need limiting if fingers become effected.
