SAFETY WARNINGS & INSTRUCTIONS

SYMBOL

MEANING

UNDERSTAND YOUR MIXER

Read and understand the owner’s manual and labels affixed 

to the mixer. Learn its application and limitations as well as 

the specific potential hazards peculiar to it. Become familiar 

with the controls before operating this mixer.

STAY ALERT

Do not operate the mixer while under the influence of drugs, 

alcohol, or any medication that could affect your ability to 

use it properly. Do not use this mixer when you are tired or 

distracted from the job at hand. Watch what you are doing 

at all times. Use common sense.

AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS

Make sure there is adequate surrounding workspace. Keep 

your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered areas invite 

injuries. Keep area around the mixer clear of obstructions, 

grease, oil, trash and other debris which could cause 

persons fall onto moving parts. Only use or operate the 

mixer on solid, flat, level ground that is capable to support 

the weight of the mixer and its load to prevent the mixer 

from tipping over. Do not attempt to move the mixer when it 

is loaded and/or in operation. This mixer is intended for the 

production of concrete, mortar and plaster. It is not suitable 

for the mixing of flammable or explosive substances. Do 

not use it in areas where fumes from paint, solvents or 

flammable liquids pose a potential hazard.

INSPECT YOUR MIXER

Check your mixer before turning it on. Keep guards in 

place and in working order. Do not plug mixer with motor 

cover off. Check all bolts, nuts, and screws for tightness 

before each use, especially those securing guards and drive 

mechanisms. Vibration during mixing may cause these to 

loosen. Form a habit of checking to see that all the adjusting 

tools, shovels, hand trowels and other tools/equipment 

are removed from mixer area before turning it on. Replace 

damaged, missing or failed parts before using it. Warning 

labels carry important information. Replace any missing or 

damaged warning labels.
