WARNING
READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

OTE:N Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference.
OTE:N The term power tool in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery­operated (cordless) power tool.

Work Area Safety

1. Keep work area clean and well lit.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
User Manual

Personal Safety

1. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication to avoid risk of serious personal injury.
2. Always wear eye protection. Other protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection should be used in appropriate conditions to reduce personal injuries.
3. Ensure the switch is in the OFF position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
6. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

Power Tool Use and Care

Electrical Safety

1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed or grounded power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use to reduce the risk of electric shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply to reduce the risk of electric shock.
OTE:N The term residual current device (RCD) may be
replaced by the term ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) or earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB).
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and o. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools to reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may aect operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
7. Use the power tool, accessories, tool bits, and like equipment in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.

Service

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts to ensure the tool is safe to use.

OTE:N The declared vibration total value has been
measured in accordance with a standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another. The declared vibration total value may also be used in a primary assessment of exposure.
WARNING
THE VIBRATION EMISSION DURING ACTUAL USE OF THE POWER TOOL CAN DIFFER FROM THE DECLARED TOTAL VALUE DEPENDING ON THE WAYS IN WHICH THE TOOL IS USED.

Additional Safety Note

Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three-wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.

INTRODUCTION

This concrete vibrator motor is used to power concrete flex shaft vibrators which provide vibration to consolidate freshly poured concrete. The vibration is created by an eccentric (off center) weight within the vibrator head. As the weight spins it forces the head housing to move within the fresh concrete. The continuous head movement agitates the concrete mixture resulting in significantly reduced voids.
This motor can be used with any valid Wyco vibrator head and shaft combination. See Table 1: Head and shaft
combinations on page 6 or common combinations. Shafts
are available in lengths of 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20 and 30 feet (0.61,
1.52, 2.13, 3.05, 4.27, 6.1, and 9.14 m).
WARNING
DO NOT USE NON-APPROVED PARTS. THE USE OF NON­APPROVED PARTS MAY CAUSE A HAZARDOUS CONDITION FOR THE OPERATOR.
