• 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 influence 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 finger 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 affect 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 different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation .
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified 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 inflammable 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 firmly 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 .
