Maintenance Tips

• Clean After Use: Remove concrete buildup from the head and shaft after each job to prevent material adhesion that can reduce vibration efficiency.

• Inspect for Wear & Damage: Check the polyurethane coating, head, and cable for cracks, cuts, or exposed steel; replace if damaged to avoid performance issues.

• Store Dry & Off the Ground: Store in a clean, dry area off the floor to prevent moisture damage and protect the cable and head.

• Gentle Handling of Cable: Avoid sharp bends, kinks, or pulling the cable around edges to extend the life of the power cord and prevent internal damage.

• Check Connections: Ensure the power connection and any plugs are clean, secure, and corrosion‑free before operation.
