STAY ALERT
Do not operate the mixer while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication that could affect your
ability to use it properly. Do not use this mixer when you are tired or distracted from the job at hand. Be aware
of what you are doing at all times. Use common sense.
AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS
Make sure there is adequate surrounding workspace. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
Keep your work area clean with sufficient light. Keep area around the mixer clear of obstructions, grease, oil,
rubbish and other debris which could cause persons to fall onto moving parts.
This mixer is intended for the production of concrete, mortar and plaster. It is not suitable for the mixing of
flammable or explosive substances. Do not use it in areas where fumes from paint, solvents or flammable
liquids pose a potential hazard.
INSPECT YOUR MACHINE
Check all bolts, nuts, and screws for tightness before each use, especially those securing guards and drive
mechanisms. Vibration during mixing may cause these to loosen.
Form a habit of checking to see that all the adjusting tools, shovels, hand trowels and other tools/equipment
are removed from mixer area before turning it on.
Replace damaged, missing or failed parts before using it. Warning labels carry important information. Replace
any missing or damaged warning labels.
DRESS PROPERLY
Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, scarfs, neckties or jewelry (rings, wrist watches), which can be caught in
moving parts. Protective electrically non-conductive gloves and non-skid footwear are hignly recommended
when working. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty. Always wear safety glasses/goggles and/or
face shields. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses/goggles. Wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair, preventing it from getting caught in machinery.
DO NOT ABUSE CORD
Never carry the mixer by the electrical cord or yank it to disconnect the plug from the mains supply.
Keep the cord from heat, oil and sharp edges.
EXTENSION CABLES
Extension cables must be no longer than 50 metres in length. The cable section must be 1.5mm² & 230V to
allow sufficient current flow to the motor. Improper use of extension cables may cause inefficient operation of
the mixer, which can result in overheating and motor damage.
Only extension cords to H07RN-F specification intended for outdoor purpose may be used. Avoid use of free
and inadequately insulated connections. Connections must be made with protected material suitable for
outdoor use. Make sure that any extension cable connections are dry and safe. Ensure that the extension cable
is carefully laid out avoiding liquids, sharp edges and places where vehicles might run over it. Avoid allowing
the extension cable to be trapped underneath the mixer. Ensure your extension cable is fully extended to
prevent overheating or the risk of fire.
AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Check the electric circuit is adequately protected and that it corresponds with the power, voltage and
frequency of the machines motor. Do not plug or unplug the motor while standing in or around damp or wet
ground. Do not use the mixer in wet or damp areas or expose it to rain. Prevent body contact with grounded
surfaces: pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.
Make sure your fingers do not touch the plug’s metal prongs when plugging or unplugging the mixer.
KEEP BYSTANDERS AND CHILDREN AWAY
Keep unauthorised persons a minimum distance of 10 metres away from the mixer. Do not allow children to
handle, climb on or in the mixer.
DO NOT OVERREACH
