Dec

🛠️ Before Starting

  • Inspect the roller for cracks, loose parts, or damage.

  • Check the surface—remove debris, stones, or sharp objects.

  • Lightly moisten soil/asphalt if required for better compaction.

 

👷 During Operation

  • Wear proper PPE: safety shoes, gloves, and reflective vest.

  • Maintain steady pressure—avoid rushing or uneven rolling.

  • Roll in straight, overlapping passes for uniform compaction.

  • Do not over-compact, especially on thin layers.

  • Keep a firm grip and maintain good posture to avoid strain.

 

⚠️ Safety Tips

  • Keep hands and feet clear of the roller drum.

  • Avoid slopes or uneven edges to prevent slipping.

  • Do not use on excessively hot asphalt without heat-resistant gloves.

  • Stay aware of surroundings, especially in busy work zones.

 

✅ After Use

  • Clean the roller drum to prevent material buildup.

  • Store in a dry, safe place to extend equipment life.

 

Proper use of a hand roller ensures better surface finish, longer-lasting work, and safer operations—especially for small repairs and tight spaces.
