5. Instruccions de funcionament
Proper operation is crucial for achieving optimal concrete consolidation and extending the life of your tool.
- Comprovació prèvia al funcionament: Before starting, ensure all connections are secure and the power cord is free from damage.
- Starting the Vibrator: Turn on the power switch located on the motor unit. The vibrator head will begin to vibrate.
- Vibrating Concrete:
- Slowly insert the vibrating poker head into the freshly poured concrete.
- Penetrate the concrete vertically or at a slight angle, ensuring the poker reaches the bottom of the formwork or the previous lift.
- Keep the poker submerged for approximately 5-15 seconds, or until air bubbles stop rising to the surface and the concrete surface becomes smooth and glossy.
- Slowly withdraw the poker, allowing the concrete to flow back into the void created by the poker.
- Overlap vibration areas by about 50% to ensure complete consolidation.
- Avoid touching the formwork with the vibrator head, as this can damage the forms or create surface imperfections.
- Stopping the Vibrator: Turn off the power switch on the motor unit when finished or when moving to a new section.
Tips for Effective Vibration:
- Do not over-vibrate concrete, as this can lead to segregation of aggregates.
- Maintain a consistent rhythm and pattern for uniform results.
- For deep pours, vibrate in layers, ensuring each layer is properly consolidated before adding the next.
6. Manteniment
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your concrete vibrator.
- Neteja: After each use, clean the vibrator head and hose thoroughly to remove any concrete residue. Use a stiff brush and water. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents that could damage the hose material. Ensure the motor unit remains dry.
- Inspecció: Regularly inspect the power cord for cuts, fraying, or damage. Check the vibrator hose for cracks, kinks, or excessive wear. Ensure the connection between the hose and motor unit is secure.
