14. The power switch should be turned ON/OFF only
when the head assembly is not inserted in the ready-
mixed concrete.
If the power is turned OFF while the vibrator is in
the ready-mixed concrete, you may not be able to
remove the head assembly. Forcibly pulling it out
may cause injury.
15. Do not set the vibrator down and switch it on. The
head assembly may whip around out of control and
cause an accident.
16. Do not pry or twist the vibrator among the rebar or
the formwork with the head assembly. Otherwise the
head assembly may become abraded and burns the
motor.
17. When using a vibrator connected to the portable
power pack, be sure to work alone. Two-person
operation, where one holds the vibrator and the other
holds the portable power pack separately, may cause
accidents or injury.
18. When moving or storing the product, be sure to move
it with the portable power pack turned off . If the power
is left on, it may start up unexpectedly, causing an
accident or injury.

be operated on hard surfaces such as hardened
concrete or steel plate. There is a possibility that

the plug terminals before inserting them securely into
the output socket of the portable power pack. Poor
contact with the plug is one of the main causes of
failure, such as motor burnout and damage to the
circuit board.
