reMove THe grounding pin FroM THe plug!
 never let power cords or cables lay in water.
 never use damaged or worn cables or cords when
connecting equipment to generator. Inspect for cuts in
the insulation.
 never grab or touch a live power
cord or cable with wet hands. The
possibility exists of electrical shock,
electrocution or death.
 Make sure power cables are securely connected.
Incorrect connections may cause electrical shock and
damage to the vibrator motor.
CauTion
 Ensure that cables and cords will not be tripped over.
NOTICE
 alWayS make certain that proper power or extension
cord has been selected for the job.
 Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor
use and so marked.
 Use only the gauge wire and length of cord recommended
for the motor size. If in doubt, go to the next heavier gauge.
(The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.)
poWer Tool uSe and Care
 do noT force the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
 do noT use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
 Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
 Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
 Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
 Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
 Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
ServiCe
 Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
