How This Fits Into a Typical Job

It serves as the main compaction tool for achieving level, stable surfaces ready for subsequent construction phases or final surfacing materials.

How to Use

1. Preparation of Surface: Before starting, ensure the working surface is free from loose debris.
2. Applying Washing-Up Liquid: If you are using it on the tarmac, spray the base with a mixture of water and washing-up liquid to prevent it from sticking.
3. Positioning the Tamper: Place the tamper firmly on the surface to be compacted.
4. Tamping Motion: Use consistent downward pressure to compact the material evenly.
5. Reapplication: Repeat the process across the entire area until the surface is smooth and level.

Storage and Maintenance

• Clean the tamper immediately after use to remove dirt and residues.
• Store in a dry location to protect the powder-coated finish from moisture.
• Inspect regularly for signs of wear and address any damage to maintain optimal performance.
