7.1 INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USE
Safe work with the instrument is only possible after you read thoroughly
this manual for use and maintenance and observe precisely the here
specified instructions.
Observe also other safety directions that are a part of each instrument
delivery.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
• Wear work clothes and the recommended protective equipment.
• Take care of long hair and fashion accessories, work in properly but-
toned garments without free-flowing parts.
•
Take care that take a safe and firm stand at work.
• Use the supplementary handle
• Consider possible reaction torque.
WORKING ENVIRONMENT
• Check the Instrument should not be operated in clamp, wet prem-
ises, during a rain, fog and snow in the open, and in environment
with a risk of explosion.
•
Ensure that the mixing station is placed in a firm and secure
position. A mixing station that is not properly secured may move
unexpectedly.
• Take protective measures when dust can develop during working
that is harmful to one’s health, combustible or explosive. Example:
Some dusts are regarded as carcinogenic. Wear a dust mask and
work with dust extraction.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• If the mixer falls into the material to be mixed, unplug the tool im-
mediately and have the mixer checked by a qualified repair person.
Reaching into the mixing container with the tool still plugged in can
lead to electric shock.
SECURITY AGAINST UNINTENDED START
• Before putting the plug in the mains socket the switch should be in
the “off” position.
• Turn off the machine if it stops for any reason. In this way you avoid
the sudden start in the unattended condition.
MATERIAL
• Follow the instructions and warnings for the material to be mixed.
Material to be mixed can be harmful.
• Avoid splashing mixed material.
• Do not work with materials containing asbestos. Asbestos is consid-
ered carcinogenic.
WORK PROCEDURE
•
The mixer must be firmly fixed.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
•
Ensure sufficient ventilation when mixing flammable materials to
avoid a hazardous atmosphere. Evaporative gas may be inhaled or
be ignited by the sparks the mixer produces.
• Keep the cord away from the working area. Always direct backwards
the cord from the device The cord should not be exerted by tensile
stress and should not lie on or pass over sharp edges.
• Never let the device mix unsupervised. Pull the mains plug and
check that the switch is switched off if the mixer is left unattended,
e.g. during assembly and dismantling work, in the event of a voltage
drop, when inserting or installing an accessory.
• When parking and stirring the mix, the device must always be se-
cured using the two castors with brake.
• Ensure that no liquid splashes against the housing of the mixer.
Liquid that has penetrated the mixer can cause damage and lead to
electric shock.
• Do not reach into the mixing container with your hands or insert any
other objects into it while mixing. Contact with the stirrer may lead
to serious personal injury.
• Make sure that the cable is not tangled by the stirrer.
• Do not reach into rotating parts.
• Do not reach into the container with long objects.
• Take material samples only when the device is at a standstill and
the mains plug is pulled.
