HOW TO USE THE MIXER

Before setting up, repair or maintenance of the 

appliance you must always turn off the operating switch 

and pull out the mains plug.

Before Initial Operation 

 

Check if the rated frequency of the mains supply  

corresponds to the details of the type place.

 

Before using the tool, read the instruction book  

carefully.

Mixer Assembly (Fig. 1):

First screw mixer part (6a) together with mixer part (6b). 

Screw the mixer (6) into the mixer holder (5) when fully 

assembled. Use the two spanners to do this. Use one of 

the spanners (a) to hold the mixer holder (5) in place and 

then use the second spanner (b) to tighten up the mixer 

(6). Proceed in the reverse sequence to undo the mixer.

Paddle design may vary to illustration shown. 

Starting the Unit

with the mains voltage before connecting the unit up.

On/Off switch:

Continuous running: 

Press the locking knob on the switch Fig 2 (1) (2) to lock 

it in place

Fig 2 (4) 

The switch position enables you to work at high or 

low speeds. The gear switch position should only be 

changed when the unit is stopped, in order to prevent 

the gearing from being damaged.

Working With the Paint and Mortar 

Mixer

 

 

The mains plug must be disconnected before the 

mixing tool is changed.

The unit should be run at low speed before it is 

immersed in or removed from the mixture. The speed 

should only be increased to maximum after it has been 

fully immersed in the mixture, in order to ensure that 

motor is kept as cool as possible. The machine must 

be moved around inside the mixing vessel during the 

mixing process. Continue the mixing process until all of 

the mixing components have been processed.

Always clean the mixer after you have finished using it.

3) Personal safety

a) Stay alert, be attentive and use common sense when 

operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while 

you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or 

medication. A moment of inattention while operating 

power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear 

eye protection. Protective equipment such as a 

respiratory mask, anti-slip safety shoes, hard hat, and 

hearing protection, used as appropriate, will reduce 

personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in 

the off-position before connecting to power source and/

or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or 

energizing power tools that have the switch on invites 

accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or spanner before turning 

the power tool on. A spanner or a key left attached to a 

rotating part of the power tool may result in personal 

injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at 

all times. This enables better control of the power tool in 

unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or 

jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away 

from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair 

can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust 

extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are 

connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can 

reduce dust-related hazards.

4) Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool 

for your application. The correct power tool will do the 

job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it 

on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with 

the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or 

the battery pack from the power tool before making any 

adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power 

tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk 

of starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do 

not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these 

instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or 

binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other 

condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If 

damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many 

accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly 

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are 

less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in 

accordance with these instructions, taking into account 

the working conditions and the work to be performed. 

Use of the power tool for operations different from those 

intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair 

person using only identical replacement parts. This will 

ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

PRECAUTIONS ON USING MIXER

Do not let the cable touch any parts of your body.

 

Only use an extension cable approved for use in the 

working area.

inside a mixing vessel. Ensure that the mixing vessel is 

placed on a solid, secure base.

 

Never reach into the mixing vessel with your hands or 

any other object during the mixing process.
