approved by the manufacturer. Failure to do
so can result in personal injury.
Maintain the machine. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
machine’s operation. If damaged, have the
machine repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained equipment.
Keep the engine and muffler free of grass,
leaves, excessive grease or carbon build up to
reduce the chance of a fire hazard.
Never douse or squirt the unit with water or
any other liquid. Keep handles dry, clean and
free from debris. Clean after each use.
Observe proper disposal laws and regulations
for gas, oil, etc. to protect the environment.
Store idle machine out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the machine or these instructions to operate
it. Machine is dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.

adjusting, shut off the engine and make
certain all moving parts have stopped. Always
make sure the engine’s switch is in its “OFF”
position. Disconnect the spark plug wire, and
keep the wire away from the plug to prevent
accidental starting.
Have your machine serviced by a qualified
r e p a i r p e r s o n n e l u s i n g o n l y i d e n t i c a l
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the machine maintained.
To avoid injury, keep hands, fingers and feet
away from the base plate. Grip the handle of
the plate compactor firmly with both hands.
If both hands are holding the handle and your
feet are clear of the compactor base, your
hands, fingers and feet can not be injured by
the compactor base.
Always operate the machine from behind,
never pass or stand in front of the machine
when the engine is running.
Never place tools or any other item under the
plate compactor.
If the unit strikes a foreign object, stop the
engine, disconnect the spark plug, thoroughly
inspect the machine for any damage, and
repair the damage before restarting and
operating the machine.
Do not overload the machine capacity by
compacting too deep in a single pass or at too
fast a rate.
Never operate the unit at high transport
speeds on hard or slippery surfaces.
Exercise extreme caution when operating on
or crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay
alert for hidden hazards or traffic. Do not carry
passengers.
Never leave the operating position and leave
the plate compactor unattended when the
engine is running.
Always stop the engine when compacting is
delayed or when walking from one location to
another.
Stay away from the edged of ditches and
avoid actions that may cause the plate
compactor to topple over.
Always ascend slopes carefully, in a direct
path and in reverse to present the plate
compactor from toppling over onto the
operator.
Always park the unit on a firm and level
surface and shut the tool off.
To reduce exposure to vibration, limit the
hours of operation and take periodic breaks
to minimize repetition and rest your hand.
Reduce the speed and force in which you do
the repetitive movement. Try to fill each day
with jobs where operating hand-held power
equipment is not required.
