to cool down before attempting to use again. Cleaning

w dirt and dust out of all air vents with clean, dry air at least once a week. To minimize the risk of eye injury, always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection when perform ing thisprocedure.

WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals

for cleaning the non‑metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into aliquid.

DO NOT clean with a high pressure cleaner. Signs that the concrete has been sufficiently compacted:

• Concrete no longer settles.

• Little to no air bubbles are rising any longer. To Operate

1. Turn vibrator on.

2. Using both hands, hold the shaft

3. Immerse the vibrator head into the freshly mixed (green)

concrete allowing the weight of the vibrator head to fullypenetrate.

4. Guide the vibrator head through the freshly mixed

concrete, then slowly lift vibrator head out to avoid retrapping air. Small up and down movements will close any holes formed by the vibrator head.

5. Move the vibrator head to the next location andrepeat.

NOTE: Lift the head vertically from the mix at a rate of about 3 seconds per foot of thickness of the concrete. NOTE: For best results, it is usually best to keep the vibrator head vertical at all times and to avoid side‑to‑ sidemovement. NOTE: Compact particularly intensely within formwork corners as reinforcement density is the greatest there. NOTE: If a small diameter vibrator head is used, it must be compacted longer to achieve the same effect as with a largediameter. IMPORTANT: Do not drag the head through the mix, as this will form mortar channels (areas where there is nostone). Once the head reaches the surface, remove it quickly to avoid churning the concrete at the surface.7 ENGLISH Three‑Year Limited Warranty For warranty terms, go to www.dewalt.com/support/warranty.
