SVA-SERIES — RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

■Before plugging the motor into a power source, ALWAYS remove any wrenches or other tools from the motor, shaft, and head that were used for assembly.

■Be sure switch is in the "OFF" position before plugging the motor into a power source.

■DO NOT carry plugged-in motor with finger on the switch.

■NEVER use the motor with a defective switch. If the switch does not turn the motor "ON" or "OFF", have it replaced before using the motor.

■NEVER carry the motor by the cord. Use the carrying frame.

■Keep the cord from heat, oil, and sharp objects.

■DO NOT overload the motor. It will do a better and safer job at the rate for which it was designed.

■DO NOT force the motor and head to do the job of a larger motor and head.

■DO NOT expose vibrator motor to rain.

■DO NOT use vibrator motor in damp or wet locations without proper electrical circuits.

■NEVER operate the vibrator motor in an explosive atmosphere where fumes are present, or near combustible materials. An explosion or fire could result in severe bodily harm or even death.

■ALWAYS keep clear of rotating or moving parts while operating the vibrator motor.

■NEVER leave the machine unattended while running.

■ALWAYS turn the motor off and unplug the power cord before performing service or maintenance functions.

■DO NOT yank the cord to disconnect it from the receptacle. Grasp the plug itself to disconnect it.

■ALWAYS disconnect the motor from the power source when not in use, before servicing, and when changing flexible shafting and vibrator heads.

■Allowthe vibrator motor to cool before servicing.

Contact with hot! components can cause serious burns.

■Store idle vibrator motor. When not in use, motor should be stored in a dry, safe storage area.

VIBRATOR MOTOR ELECTRICAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING

When using electric tools, basic safety precautions MUST be followed to reduce the risk of fire and electric shock.

1.Know your concrete vibrator. Read this instruction manual. Learn the vibrator's applications, limitations, and specific potential hazards peculiar to this tool.

2.Guard against electrical shock.

3.Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces. (For example: pipes, reinforcing bar, etc.)

■Use a protection wiring device, such as a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter, for the protection of personnel.

■This concrete vibrator motor is equipped with a 3-conductor cord, and a 3-prong grounding type plug to fit the proper grounding type receptacle. The green conductor in the cord is the ground wire. NEVER connect the green wire to a live terminal. See (Figure 1) for proper grounding methods.
