Safety information for the concrete vibrator
Wear safety goggles. This will protect your eyes against splashing concrete.
Wear protective gloves. The vibrator head of the concrete vibrator may become hot during use.
- Avoid touching the vibrator head after use. The surface can become very hot.
- Never lay the power tool down before the accessory has come to a complete stop. The vibrating accessory can come into contact with the surface, causing you to lose control of the power tool.
- Make sure that you do not trip over the hose or cable while working. This poses a risk of injury.
- Note that you will require more space when wearing the backpack with a connected power supply and vibration unit. This means that your freedom of movement is restricted.
- Only use the holder for the carrying strap to secure a carrying strap and never attach the fall arrest system to the holder for the carrying strap. The holder for the carrying strap and the carrying strap itself do not act as a fall arrest system.
- Transport the power tool only when switched off. When switched on, the power tool could unintentionally come into contact with your clothing, become entangled and be pulled towards your body.
- Protect the power cord during operation so that it does not get caught in reinforcements or pulled over sharp edges.
- Do not pull the hose over sharp edges or reinforcements. If the shaking head has jammed, do not pull by the hose. Instead, release the shaking head by moving it back and forth. This prevents the hose from being damaged.
- Move the on/off switch to the off position if there is a power outage. This prevents uncontrolled restarting.
- In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or explode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical attention should you experience any adverse effects. The vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
- Do not modify or open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuiting.
- The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally. An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
- Only use the battery in the manufacturer's products. This is the only way in which you can protect the battery against dangerous overload.
Protect the rechargeable battery against heat, e.g. including prolonged sun exposure, fire, water, and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and short circuit.
