General Power Tool Safety Warnings WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure

to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term power tool in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool. 1. Work area safety

A. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

B. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

C. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electric safety A. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never

modify the plug in any way. Do not use any

adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

B. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

C. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

D. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

E. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

F. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety A. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

B. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

C. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

D. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

E. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

F. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

G. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4. Power tool use and care

A. 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.

B. 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.

C. 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.

D. 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.

E. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

F. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

G. 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.

5. Service

A. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Using the Power Tool Important: Do not operate the vibrator head out of the concrete mix for more than a few minutes. The wet concrete keeps the head at the proper operating temperature.

1. Ensure that the power unit, shaft, and head are securely attached.

2. Ensure that the vibrator power unit is sitting securely, or use the shoulder strap to hang it over your shoulder.

3. While holding the flexible shaft, turn the power unit on; refer to Starting and Stopping the Motor (page 8).

4. Insert the vibrator head vertically into the concrete, and allow the weight of it to sink it to the desired depth.

Note: Forcing the vibrator head may cause it to become stuck between pieces of rebar.

5. Keep the vibrator head in place for 5 to 15 seconds, and then slowly lift it up.

Note: Allow about 15 seconds for moving the vibrator a 61 cm (2 foot) distance up and out of the concrete.

Note: Using a slight up and down movement will close the hole formed by the vibrator head.

6. Remove the vibrator quickly when it is near the top of the concrete.

7. Insert the vibrator at a distance 1.5 times the radius of action away from the last insertion point, and repeat the procedure.

8. When you are finished using the power tool, turn it off, unplug the power cable, and wipe the power tool clean.

Operating Tips Match the vibrator power unit, shaft, and head to the job.

Select the largest vibrator suitable for the job. Select the shortest shaft possible to do the job to assure maximum power to the vibrator head.

For the highest efficiency, avoid making sharp bends in the flexible shaft.

Do not use the vibrator to move the concrete laterally. Doing so will cause segregation. Use a shovel instead.

Limit pours to 2 feet high; this will result in less resistance for air to escape.

Allow the vibrator to penetrate 3 to 6 inches into the preceding layer to knit the 2 layers together, preventing lift lines.

Flip the shaft around (so that the motor end is at the head, and vice versa) periodically to extend the service life.

Maintenance WARNING

If the extension cord is plugged into the power tool, someone could accidentally operate the power tool while you are performing maintenance on it, causing serious personal injury.

Move the On/Off switch to the Off position, and disconnect the extension cord before you perform any maintenance on the power tool.

Note: The heads are factory-sealed, therefore they require no maintenance.

After using the power tool each time, complete the following:

1. Turn the motor off and unplug the power tool.

2. Wipe the power tool clean with a damp cloth. Do not hose it down or submerge it in water.

3. Check and tighten all fasteners. If any part is damaged or lost, repair or replace it.

4. Brush debris away from the air intake vents on the motor housing to prevent the motor from overheating.

Should this product need service other than lubricating the shaft, take the product to your Authorized Toro Service Dealer. Your Toro Dealer is specially trained to repair Toro products and will ensure that your Toro products stays All Toro.
