ENSURE all operators read, understand and follow the operating instructions. SERIOUS INJURY may result from improper or careless use of this machine ! MECHANICAL HAZARDS DpSlOaaclNee.OsTOofpfiecreate the machine unless all protective guards are in ENSURE that the motor operation switch is in the OFF position and the spark plug ignition lead is disconnected before removing the guards or making adjustments. KEEP hands and feet clear of rotating and moving parts as they will cause injury if contacted. DO NOT leave the equipment in operation while it is unattended. EXERCISE CARE when handling vibrators. Exposure to vibration or repetitive work actions may be harmful to hands and arms. DO NOT hold the vibrator shaft in your hands while it is running. Hold the vibrator by the "D" handle & use the supplied carry strap to help isolate your hands from the vibration. 2 1300 353 986 flextool.com.au FLEXTOOL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The exterior of the flexshaft and the vibrator head a will eventually enter the vibrator head or the flexshaft.

Pull the throttle trigger. 3. Push the idle-knob, then release the throttle trigger and the interlock. 4. Start the engine NOTE: This function must not be used when vibrating. Always operate the unit at full throttle. This will ensure correct concrete compaction and avoid damage to the drive mechanism. Be careful starting and or revving the unit on loose gravel as it may be sucked into the flywheel cooling fins causing damage to the unit. Information regarding compaction of concrete using immersion viSbraalteosrsOisfafivcaeilable in a FLEXTOOL FACT SHEET. Avoid sharp bends in the flexshaft, particularly when it is in use. Do not use a eccentric-type immersion vibrator head as an external vibrator by applying it to the outside of formwork. Do not operate the vibrating head out of concrete for extended periods. Do not leave it running while you wait for fresh supplies of concrete to be placed.
