Safety Instructions
1. All operators must be familiar with the stirrer and read this entire manual.
If the stirrer is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
2. The stirrer must be securely fixed to a stable support. Mount to a Caframo
stand using a Caframo heavy duty clamp. If other stands or clamps are
used, the stirrer must be secured such that it will not fall if tipped.
3. CAUTION: This is not an explosion proof stirrer. Do not use in a highly
flammable or explosive environment.
4. Spinning impellers can cause severe personal injuries. Operators must
use extreme care and good judgment when mixing at any speed.
5. All mixing paddles and impellers must be in good condition with straight
shafts. If the stirrer vibrates at high speeds check the paddle shaft for
damage and repair or replace if needed.
6. Extreme care must be taken when mixing chemicals to ensure that no
chemicals are splashed outside the mixing vessel. Care must be taken
when changing to faster mixing speeds.
7. Ensure that the mixing impeller does not contact the containment vessel.
8. Do not operate while standing in water. Keep the stirrer dry and do not
immerse any part, except the mixing paddle into any liquids. Protect from
splashing.
9. Ensure that no loose clothing, jewelry, or hair can become entangled in any
rotating parts. A fast spinning chuck can cause injury to operator.
10. Power can be interrupted to the stirrer by pressing the power button. In an
emergency, disconnect the mains cord.
11. Ensure the power button and mains power cord of the stirrer can be
accessed immediately, directly and without risk at any time, and above
all, in case of fault.
12. The stirrer must be used with supplied power cord. The cord and grounded
plug type are important safety elements. Do not use an inadequately
rated cord or ungrounded plug. Always connect the mixer to a grounded
outlet. Do not alter the plug.
