CV-SERIES — RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
■
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.
■
Allow the vibrator motor to cool before servicing.
Contact with
hot!
components can cause
serious burns.
■
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 disconnect the motor from the power source when
not in use, before servicing, and when changing flexible
shafting and vibrator heads.
■
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.
■
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.
■
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.
■
Store idle vibrator motor. When not in use, motor should be
stored in a dry, safe storage area.
■
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.

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

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.
