Hold the control handle left and right for an optimal control, performance and minimal hand-arm-
vibrations.
To avoid damage to the machine, the machine may not be relocated in a running state.
Use caution with coarse materials. In order to avoid extreme wear of the ramming shoe, this must
always strike parallel to the ground to be compacted.
Operation in channels
On pit, cavity, dump and embankment edges, on trench edges and terraces, operate the machine so
that there is no danger of tipping or falling over.
Pay attention to the sidewalls and their stability. Danger of collapse and burying!
Stability!
Operation below freezing
The cold oil in the percussion system can increase the resistance so much that the centrifugal clutch
slips.
Allow the machine to warm up at a low rpm, as otherwise the centrifugal clutch will wear quickly.
