• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoid-
able, use a residual current device (RCD) protected sup-
ply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the infl uence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off -position before connecting to power source and/
or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your fi nger on the switch or energising
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotat-
ing part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from mov-
ing parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extrac-
tion and collection facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off . Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool
or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may aff ect the power tool’s operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations diff erent from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
MACHINE-SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS
• Do not use the power tool for explosive materials (e.
g., easily infl ammable solvents). Power tools produce
sparks which could ignite developing vapours.
• In case the power tool should fall into the material to be
stirred, pull the plug immediately and have the power
tool checked by an after-sales service agent. Material
that has penetrated the power tool can cause damage
and lead to an electric shock.
• Hold the machine fi rmly with both hands by the insu-
lated gripping surfaces while working and keep proper
footing and balance at all times. The machine is more
securely guided with both hands. Loss of control can
cause personal injury.
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting
accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the
operator an electric shock.
• Switch off the power tool immediately when the tool
insert jams. Be prepared for high reaction torque that
can cause kickback. The tool insert jams when:
– the power tool is subject to overload or
– it becomes wedged in the workpiece.
• Do not mix food. Power tools and their accessories are
not designed for processing food.
• Keep the cord away from the working area. The cord
may be entangled by the stirrer paddle.
• The mixing container must be suitable for mixing and
must stand securely. A container that is not properly
secured may move uncontrolled.
• Ensure that no liquid splashes against the housing of the
power tool. Liquid that has penetrated the power tool
can cause damage and lead to electric shock.
• In the event of a power interruption, release the locking
switch by pressing the on/off switch. This will prevent
the power tool from restarting unintentionally (risk of
injury).
• Do not use the power tool in a stand.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Make sure that the machine is not live when carry-
ing out maintenance work on the motor.
• Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth,
preferably after each use. Keep the ventilation slots free
from dust and dirt.If the dirt does not come off use a soft
cloth moistened with soapy water. Never use solvents
such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water, etc. These sol-
vents may damage the plastic parts.
