SILICOSIS/RESPIRATORY WARNINGS
WARNING
SILICOSIS WARNING RESPIRATORY HAZARDS
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and
other materials with silica in their composition may give
off dust or mists containing crystalline silica. Silica is a
basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and
numerous other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or
substantial inhalation of airborne crystalline silica can
cause serious or fatal respiratory diseases, including
silicosis. In addition, California and some other
authorities have listed respirable crystalline silica as a
substance known to cause cancer. When cutting such
materials, always follow the respiratory precautions
mentioned above.
WARNING
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and
other materials can generate dust, mists and fumes
containing chemicals known to cause serious or fatal
injury or illness, such as respiratory disease, cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm. If you are
unfamiliar with the risks associated with the particular
process and/or material being cut or the composition of
the tool being used, review the material safety data
sheet and/or consult your employer, the material
manufacturer/supplier, governmental agencies such as
OSHA and NIOSH and other sources on hazardous
materials. California and some other authorities, for
instance, have published lists of substances known to
cause cancer, reproductive toxicity, or other harmful
effects.
Control dust, mist and fumes at the source where
possible. In this regard use good work practices and
follow the recommendations of the manufacturers or
suppliers, OSHA/NIOSH, and occupational and trade
associations. Water should be used for dust
suppression when wet cutting is feasible. When the
hazards from inhalation of dust, mists and fumes cannot
be eliminated, the operator and any bystanders should
always wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for
the materials being used.

Required
Shaft
Type
The consoldation of concrete has many mitigating
factors that must be considered such as slump, mix,
depth of vibrator, vibrator spacing, vibration time,
vibration frequency, temperature. All of these factors
must be considered when the consildation (vibration)
of concrete is required.
PAGE 10 — FLEXSHAFTS/VIBRATOR HEADS • OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #0 (07/16/10)
GENERAL INFORMATION
INSERTION SPACING
Multiquip's flex-shafts vibrator heads are designed to work
in medimum to high slump concrete. Typical applications
include small pours, slabs driveways, stem walls and
footings.
Typical shaft lengths range from 2 to 21 feet (0.6 to 6.4
meters). See Tables 1, 2 and 3 for the various recommended
shaft lengths.
Vibrating steel heads are attached to one end of the flexshaft. These heads generate a vibration via an eccentric
rotator that consoldates the concrete by removing air
pockets. The round head design allows for the transmisssion
of vibration in all directions.
There are 7 different steel head sizes that range from 7/
to 25/8 inches in diameter. Typical vibration frequency for
these vibrating heads range from 9,200 to 12,150 VPM
with 1-inch slump when using electric motors.
When working with epoxy coated rebar, 4 different types of
rubber heads are available to prevent chipping of the rebar
coating. These rubber heads range in diameter from 17/8
~23/4 inches (48~69 mm).
WHY VIBRATE CONCRETE
To ensure optimum strength and durability, vibration of
fresh concrete is an important requirement. Vibration or
compaction is the principal method for consolidation of
concrete.
CONSOLIDATION
Consolidation elimates pockets of aggregate and air
bubbles maximizing strength, eliminating surface voids.
Vibrators consolidate concrete by transmitting shock waves
which allow the aggregate to float freely while pushing
lighter trapped air up and out of the concrete mix.
A properly consoldated concrete pour will display a thin line
of mortar appearing along the form near the vibrator and the
coarse aggregate has been dispersed evenly throughout
the pour and is not visible.
VIBRATION RANGE
Vibration range (Figure 1) can be defined as "Area of
Influence". This area of influence (vibrating radius) is the
distance from the center of the vibrator to the outer most
edge.
