GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Failure to follow all instructions listed in the following pages may result in electric

shock, re, and/or serious injury. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

1. Do not operate the Plate Compactor in explosive atmospheres, such as in

the presence of ammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks

which can ignite ammable materials.

2. Keep bystanders and children at least six feet away while operating the Plate

Compactor. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work

area from debris such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers and shields as needed.

Never allow children operate or play on or near the Plate Compactor.

SKU 96318 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. PAGE 3

3. The Plate Compactor should only be used in outdoor areas. Carbon monoxide

fumes (from the gasoline engine) are a colorless, odorless gas that, if inhaled, can

cause serious illness or death. If the Plate Compactor is used in enclosed spaces,

the area must be well-ventilated and Engine exhaust fumes must be piped out of

the enclosed space using leak-free, heat-resistant piping. The pipes should not

use any ammable materials, nor should they be installed near the same. Engine

exhaust fumes must be within legal limits.

4. Before performing compacting work near buildings or above pipelines,

check the effect of the vibrations on the buildings and pipelines. If necessary,

immediately stop the compacting work.

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating

the Plate Compactor. Do not use the Plate Compactor while tired or under the
