Never fill up with petrol or engine oil when
the engine is running.
Do not overfill with petrol or oil, as this may
cause a fire hazard.
Store flammable materials at a safe distance
from the engine, as the exhaust gases are
very hot and could ignite such materials.
Never use indoors. The exhaust
gases contain carbon monoxide and
hydrocarbons that are hazardous to humans
and animals if inhaled.
Never start the machine without the air
filter in place.
Avoid raising idling speed above 3500 RPM,
as this can cause damage to the engine and
personal injury.
Never touch engine components during
or immediately after use. They may be very
hot.
Keep hands and feet well clear of moving
and rotating parts.
Do not use on steep slopes where the
machine may tip over or run out of control.
Make sure that the vibrations cannot cause
a landslip, which may pose a danger to
others.
Do not run the plate compactor over
electrical cables, telephone wires or other
installations that may be damaged by the
vibrations.
Always follow the engine maintenance
instructions under “Cleaning and
Maintenance”.
Check that the switch is in the OFF position
and that the spark plug lead is disconnected
before adjusting, cleaning or performing
maintenance on the machine.
Always switch the motor off when leaving
the machine unattended.
Never stand on the plate compactor.
Cold conditions and vibrations can cause
vibration white finger (Raynaud’s disease).
Always keep your body warm while working
and do not use the compactor for extended
periods without a break. If you experience
discomfort and/or swollen, red fingers
which then turn white and become numb,
seek medical assistance. A sturdy pair of
work gloves can reduce vibrations in your
hands. The compactor is also fitted with
heavy-duty shock absorbers to reduce
vibration in the handle.
