Safety Precautions
1. Before operating the machine, read this Owner’s manual carefully. For special air-driven model instruc-
tions see page 9.
2. Ground the machine properly. Be sure to follow proper electrical connection and grounding requirement
procedures.
3. Non-explosion proof models only: Do not use in hazardous environment where dust or flammable va-
pors are present. Do not mix flammable materials or materials with a low flashpoint per the material
safety data sheet.
4. Make sure can lids are tightly closed.
5. Do not mix breakable containers such as glass, porcelain, etc.
6. Ensure container is securely clamped.
7. All customers should be kept away from the work area.
8. The mixer should be operated by trained personnel only.
NOTE: The motor is protected by a thermal overload cutoff switch. If the temperature of the motor gets too
hot it will automatically shut off. The motor will not start again until it has cooled down.
Mixing Procedure
1. Turn the clamp handle counter-clockwise to open the clamp.
2. Place the container to be mixed in the clamp and turn the clamp handle clockwise until the container is se-
cured.
3. If mixing only one container on a dual mixer clamp an empty can (or a piece of 2” x 4” board) in the other
clamp.
4. After the containers are secured, set the timer for desired mix time.
5. The mixer will turn off after the mix time has elapsed.
Maintenance Procedures
Always disconnect machine from power source before maintaining or servicing.
Cleaning:
Keep the machine clean. Colorant or paint spilled on the machine can be cleaned with warm soapy water and/
or mineral spirits. After washing, oil the clamp rods and clamp lead screw to prevent rusting. Be careful not to
get the control panel or timer wet.
Lubrication:
Keep the clamp rods and clamp lead screw free of dirt, dried paint, and other materials. Remove any small
nicks with a fine file. Once a week apply a thin film of oil to the clamp rods and clamp screw.
