Attaching a Coupling or a Chuck to the Mixer Unit
When attaching a chuck or coupling, always align and tighten
the set screws, (J) see Fig. 3, only onto the flat surface of the
motor shaft (shaded area) see Fig. 2.
Failure to do so could cause damage to the shaft and prevent
the coupling or chuck from being removed.

As with the motor shaft, always
align and tighten the set screws,
(K) see Fig. 3, only onto the flat
surface of the propeller shaft.
When removing the propeller,
grasp shaft tightly, preferably in a
vise, and gently tap the propeller
counterclockwise at the base of
the blade (L). The propeller is
