HOW TO USE THE TOOL
Effective control of this machine requires two-handed operation for maximum protection
and resistance to the start-up and operating torque.
Place the work properly and to hold the machine firmly
WITH BOTH HANDS to prevent loss
of control which could cause personal injury.
Protect your eyes from injury with safety glasses or goggles.
WARNING: Keep the cord behind the operator and away from mixing area to prevent
it from becoming entangled in the paddle.
After completing the mixing operation, release the power switch and wait for the coasting
paddle to stop completely before putting the machine down.
KEEP TOOL CLEAN
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air every 100 hours of use. All
plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic
parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material. Wear safety glasses
while using compressed air. Every 200 hours, have the lubricant in the gearbox replaced by
a qualified service center.
