Safety
Please read this complete manual before trying to operate
your mixer. Failure to follow these instructions could result
in serious bodily injury or death.
•
Do not touch moving parts while mixer is operating.
Do not wear loose-fitting clothes or jewelry around an
operating mixer. Keep all hands, feet, clothes, neckties,
necklaces and other objects clear of moving parts.
•
Never run the unit in open air.
Electric Motor Safety:
Not all rotating parts are guarded. Keep hands and clothing
away from moving parts.
Trained, qualified personnel should make electrical repairs
and non-standard connections.
If environment has hazardous combustible fumes present,
use only explosion-proof electric motors.
Air Motor Safety:
The air motor is designed to be driven by compressed air and
under no circumstances be driven with any other gases.
Fluids, particles, solids or any substance mixed with air,
particularly combustible substances likely to cause
explosions, must not drive air motor.
•
Do not drive with flammable or explosive gases or operate
unit in an atmosphere containing them.
•
Air motor is designed for air only. Do not allow corrosive
gases or particulate material to enter motor. Water vapor,
oil-based contaminants, or other liquids must be filtered
out.
•
Do not use a hammer or force coupling or drive pulley
onto shaft when installing drive onto air motor. This
causes end thrust that could damage air motor.
•
Ambient temperature should not exceed 250°F.
•
Beware of any exposed and/or movable parts. Proper
guards should be in place to prevent personal and/or
property damage.
•
Solid or liquid material exiting unit can cause eye or skin
damage. Keep away from air stream.
•
Always disconnect air supply before servicing.
•
Do not allow air motor to “run free” at high speeds with no
loads. Excessive internal heat build-up, loss of internal
clearances and rapid motor damage will result.
•
Some models may exceed 85dB(A) sound level. Hearing
protection should be worn when in close proximity to
these models.
