Switch on the equipment
1. Hold the equipment with one hand.
2. With the other hand, lift the protection hose so that the vibrator head does not beat around.
3. Switch the equipment on with the ON/OFF switch.
Compacting freshly mixed (green) concrete
1. Quickly immerse, submerge the vibrator head into the freshly mixed (green) concrete, wait for a few
seconds and slowly pull it out.
2. Immerse the vibrator head in all areas of the formwork and compact the freshly mixed (green)
concrete.
WARNING
Start-up of the equipment.
Risk of injury from uncontrolled start-up of the equipment.
Switch the equipment off before connecting to the electric power supply.
Item Designation
1 ON/OFF switch
NOTICE
For flexible shafts longer than 2 meters, designate a helper to lift the vibrator head on the
protection hose off the ground to avoid damage to the equipment or the subgrade.
NOTICE
Compact particularly intensely within the range of formwork corners, because the
spacing between the steel rods is the narrowest there.
Avoid the vibrator head coming into contact with the reinforcement. If the
vibrator head comes into contact with the reinforcement, the following damage
may occur:
The connection of the concrete to the reinforcement may be lost.
The equipment may be damaged.
The result of the compaction depends on the following factors:
The time the vibrator head is in the concrete.
The diameter of the vibrator head.
The consistency of the concrete.
Narrow spacing between the steel rods.
If you, for example, use a vibrator head with a small diameter, you have to compact for
longer to achieve the same effect as with a large diameter.
Features of when the concrete has been sufficiently compacted:
The concrete is no longer settling.
Little to no air bubbles are rising any longer.
The sound of the vibrator head no longer changes.
