USING AND LOOKING AFTER POWER TOOLS
•
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for the planned work. The tool does the
job better and safer when used at the rate for which it was designed.
•
Do not use the tool if it cannot be switched on and off with the power switch. Power tools that
cannot be controlled with the power switch are dangerous and must be repaired.
•
Unplug the power cord and/or remove the battery before making any adjustments, changing
accessories or putting the power tool away. These safety precautions reduce the risk of accidently
starting the power tool.
•
Store power tools out of the reach of children when not in use. Never allow children, or anyone
who is unfamiliar with the power tool and these instructions, to use the tool. Power tools are
dangerous if used by inexperienced persons.
•
Keep the power tool properly maintained. Check that moving parts are properly adjusted and do
not jam, and that no parts are incorrectly fitted or damaged. Check for other factors that could
affect functionality. If the power tool is damaged, it must be repaired before being used again.
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 jam and are easier to control.
•
Use the power tool, accessories and bits etc., in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the actual working conditions and the work that is to be done. It can be dangerous to
use power tools for purposes other than those they are intended to be used for.
SERVICE
•
The power tool must only be serviced by qualified personnel using identical spare parts. This will
ensure that the power tool remains safe to use.
SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT:
Always take basic safety precautions, including the following, when using power tools to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury. Read these instructions carefully before use.
Keep these instructions in a safe place.
•
Do not use power tools in explosive environments, such as in the vicinity of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Do not use the tool to mix materials with a flash point lower than 21°C.
•
Do not allow any part of your body to touch the power cord.
•
Only use approved and correctly dimensioned extension cords.
•
Start and stop the tool only when the mixer is immersed in the mixing drum. Check that the
mixing drum is standing on a stable surface.
•
Never put your hands, other parts of your body, or objects in the mixing drum when the tool is
running.
•
Always wear heavy-duty gloves and safety glasses when working with the tool.

Do not wear loose-fitting clothing, ties, scarves, etc., as these can get caught in moving parts.
