To Operate (Fig. A, G)
Using both hands, as shown in Figure G, firmly hold the
housing of the concrete vibrator while inserting the
3
vibrating head 4 into the poured concrete. Turn the
lock-off control button to the ON position and depress
trigger switch.
For best results, it is usually best to keep the vibrator head
vertical at all times and to avoid side-to-side movement. It is
generally best to insert the vibrator head into the concrete,
turn the vibrator on, then turn it off before pulling the
vibrator head straight out. Move the vibrator head to the
next location and repeat.

MAINTENANCE


WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An
accidental start-up can cause injury.
Flex Shaft Lubrication
The flex shaft casing is properly lubricated at the factory. It is
recommended for every 100 hours of use, the flex shaft core
be removed and wiped with a clean, dry cloth and high-
temperature grease be applied.
Use caution to avoid dirt and other contaminates from
entering the casing or touching the core when removing
and cleaning the flex shaft core. Avoid low-temperature
grease which may collect at the bottom of the shaft
causing leaks.
Do not disassemble vibrator head. The vibrator head
is sealed at the factory and contains a special high-
performance lubricant. Breaking the seal and adding
incorrect lubricant will significantly decrease the
performance and life of the tool. If vibrator head is damaged
or needs lubricant, take the tool to a D
service center.
