to the following;

1.2.2.1. Carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms are similar to flu, food

poisoning, viral infections and simply tiredness. It is quite common for
people to mistake this very dangerous poisoning for something else.

1.3. General fuel safety (where applicable).

2. ALL FUELS ARE FLAMMABLE

1.3.1. Fire hazard - keep fuel away from all sources of ignition for example heaters,

lamps, sparks from grinding or welding.

1.3.2. DO NOT carry out hot work on tanks that have contained fuel it is extremely

dangerous

1.3.3. ALWAYS keep work area clean and tidy.

1.3.4. ALWAYS clean up all spills promptly using correct methods i.e. absorbent

granules and a lidded bin.

1.3.5. ALWAYS Dispose of waste fuels correctly.

1.4. Fueling/De-fueling (where applicable).

3. ALL FUELS ARE FLAMMABLE

1.4.1. ALWAYS fuel and defuel in a well-ventilated area outside of buildings.

1.4.2. ALWAYS wear correct, suitable and fit for purpose Personal Protective

Equipment (PPE), suggested items are but not limited to safety gloves and
overalls.

1.4.3. When fueling/de-fueling ALWAYS avoid inhaling fumes

1.4.4. When de-fueling ALWAYS use a propriety fuel retriever.

1.4.5. ALWAYS carry fuel in the correct and clearly marked container.

1.5. Vibrations (where applicable).

1.5.1. Prolonged use of hand held (operated) machines will cause the user to feel the

effects of/from vibrations. These vibrations can lead to white finger (Raynaud's
phenomenon) or carpal tunnel syndrome. This condition reduces

Page 6

the ability of the hand to feel and regulate temperature, causing numbness and
heat sensations and may cause nerve damage and circulatory tissue death.

1.5.2. Not all factors that lead to white finger disease are known, but cold weather,

smoking and other diseases that affect blood vessels and blood circulation as
well as large and long-lasting impact of shocks are considered factors called in
the formation of white finger. Note the following to reduce the risk the white
finger and carpal tunnel syndrome:

1.5.2.1. Wear gloves and keep your hands warm

1.5.2.2. Take regular breaks

1.5.3. All of the above precautions may help reduce the risk of white finger disease

but not rule out carpal tunnel syndrome. Long-term and regular users are
therefore recommended to observe the condition of your hands and fingers.
Seek medical attention immediately if any of the above symptoms should
occur.

1.6. Noise (where applicable).

1.6.1. The operating noise of the machine can damage your hearing. Wear hearing

protection such as earplugs or ear defenders to protect your hearing. Long­term and regular users are advised to have hearing checked regularly. Be
especially vigilant and cautious when wearing hearing protection because your
ability to hear alarm warnings will be reduced.

1.6.2. Noise emissions for this equipment is unavoidable. Carry out noisy work at

approved times and for certain periods. Limit the working time to a minimum.
For your personal protection and protection of people working nearby it is also
advisable for them to wear hearing protection.

1.6.3. See CERTIFICATE of CONFORMITY section for Outdoor Noise declaration of

conformity.

4. MACHINE SPECIFIC SAFETY

2.1. Machine usage and care.

These compactors are not intended to be used on cohesive soils such

clay or hard surfaces like concrete.

2.1.1. The Plate Compactor applies energy to the loose soil or other materials to

increase its density and load bearing capacity, mainly used for small repair and
maintenance work. The loose soil or particles are moved or rearranged in a
particular manner close to each other to avoid any trapped air or voids. It
increases the load bearing capacity, decreases water seepage, prevents soil
settlement, reduces swelling, contraction of the soil and prevents frost damage.
It is ideal for compaction of granular soils, sands, gravel, crushed aggregate and
mixed soils.

2.1.2. Never pick up or carry a machine while the engine is running.

2.1.3. DO NOT force the machine. Use the correct machine for your application. The

correct machine will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.

2.1.4. DO NOT change the engine governor settings or over-speed the engine. The

governor controls the maximum safe operating speed of the engine.

2.1.5. DO NOT run the engine at a high speed when you are not pounding.

2.1.6. DO NOT put hands or feet near rotating parts.

2.1.7. AVOID contact with hot fuel, oil, exhaust fumes and hot surfaces. Do not touch

the engine or muffler. These parts get extremely hot from operation. They
remain hot for a short time after you turn off the unit. Allow the engine to cool
before doing maintenance or making adjustments.

2.1.8. If the machine should start to make an unusual noise or vibration, immediately

shut off the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and check for the cause.
Unusual noise or vibration is generally warning of trouble. DO NOT use until
source of problem is resolved or repaired

2.1.9. Use only attachments and accessories approved by the manufacturer. Failure

to do so can result in personal injury.

2.1.10. Maintain the machine. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the machine’s

operation. If damaged, have the machine repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained equipment.

2.1.11. Keep the engine and muffler free of grass, leaves, excessive grease or carbon

build up to reduce the chance of a fire hazard.

2.1.12. Never douse or squirt the unit with water or any other liquid. Keep handles

dry, clean and free from debris. Clean after each use.

2.1.13. Observe proper disposal laws and regulations for gas, oil, etc. to protect the

environment.

2.1.14. You MUST store idle machine out of the reach of children and do not allow

persons unfamiliar with the machine or these instructions to operate it.
Machine is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

2.1.15. To avoid injury, keep hands, fingers and feet away from the base plate. Grip

the handle of the plate compactor firmly with both hands. If both hands are
holding the handle and your feet are clear of the compactor base, your hands,
fingers and feet cannot be injured by the compactor base.

2.1.16. ALWAYS operate the machine from behind, never pass or stand in front of

the machine when the engine is running.

2.1.17. NEVER place tools or any other item under the plate compactor.

2.1.18. If the unit strikes a foreign object, stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug,

thoroughly inspect the machine for any damage, and repair the damage before
restarting and operating the machine.

2.1.19. DO NOT overload the machine capacity by compacting too deep in a single

pass or at too fast a rate.

2.1.20. Never operate the unit at high transport speeds on hard or slippery surfaces.

2.1.21. Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel drives, walks,

or roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic. Do not carry passengers.

2.1.22. NEVER leave the operating position and leave the plate compactor

unattended when the engine is running.

2.1.23. You MUST always stop the engine when compacting is delayed or when

walking from one location to another.

2.1.24. Stay away from the edge of ditches and avoid actions that may cause the

plate compactor to topple over.

2.1.25. Always ascend slopes carefully, in a direct path and in reverse to present the

plate compactor from toppling over onto the operator.

2.1.26. Always park the unit on a firm and level surface and shut the tool off.

2.1.27. To reduce exposure to vibration, limit the hours of operation and take

periodic breaks to minimize repetition and rest your hand. Reduce the speed
and force in which you do the repetitive movement. Try to fill each day with
jobs where operating hand-held power equipment is not required.
