Safety instructions
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNING
WARNING! Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and specications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings
refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of ammable liquids, gases
or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs

The following information applies to professional users
only but is good practice for all users:
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR CONSTRUCTION
DUST
The updated Control of Substances Hazardous to Health
Regulations 1st October 2012 now also targets to reduce the
risks associated with silica, wood and gypsum dusts.
Construction workers are one of the at-risk groups within this
because of the dust that they breathe: silica dust is not just a
nuisance; it is a real risk to your lungs!
Silica is a natural mineral present in large amounts in things
like sand, sandstone and granite. It is also commonly found in
many construction materials such as concrete and mortar. The
silica is broken into very ne dust (also known as Respirable
Crystalline Silica or RCS) during many common tasks such as
cutting, drilling and grinding. Breathing in very ne particles of
crystalline silica can lead to the development of:
• lung cancer
• Silicosis
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
And breathing in ne particles of wood dust can lead to the
development of Asthma. The risk of lung disease is linked to
people who regularly breathe construction dust over a period
of time, not on the odd occasion.
To protect the lung, the COSHH Regulations sets a limit on
the amount of these dusts that you can breathe (called a
Workplace Exposure Limit or WEL) when averaged over a
normal working day. These limits are not a large amount of
dust: when compared to a penny it is tiny – like a small pinch
of salt:
This limit is the legal maximum; the most you can breathe
after the right controls have been used.
MNL_Erbauer_18V DC Paddle Mixer_EPM18-Li_V2_220117 II.indd 15 1/17/22 12:21 PM

16
HOW TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF DUST?
1. Reduce the amount of cutting by using the best sizes of
building products.
2. Use a less powerful tool e.g. a block cutter instead of
angle grinder.
3. Using a different method of work altogether – e.g. using
a nail gun to direct fasten cable trays instead of drilling
holes rst.
Please always work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that specially designed to lter out
microscopic particles and use the dust extraction facility at all
time.
For more information please see the HSE website:
http://www.hse.gov.uk/construction or http://www.hse.gov.uk/
pubns/cis69.pdf
WARNING! Some dust particles created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drill and other construction
jobs contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
timber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
upon how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these dusts:
• Work in a well-ventilated.
• Work with approved protective equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed
to lter microscopic particles.

VIBRATION
The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has
been brought in to help reduce hand arm vibration syndrome
injuries to power tool users. The directive requires power tool
manufacturers and suppliers to provide indicative vibration
test results to enable users to make informed decisions as to
the period of time a power tool can be used safely on a daily
basis and the choice of tool.
SEE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS IN THE INSTRUCTION
MANUAL FOR THE VIBRATION LEVELS OF YOUR TOOL.
The declared vibration emission value should be used as a
minimum level and should be used with the current guidance
on vibration.
Calculating the actual period of use can be difcult and the
HSE website has further information.
The declared vibration total value has been measured in
accordance with a standardised test and may be used for
compare one tool with another.
The declared vibration total value may also be used in a
preliminary assessment of sexposure.
MNL_Erbauer_18V DC Paddle Mixer_EPM18-Li_V2_220117 II.indd 17 1/17/22 12:21 PM

18
WARNING! The vibration emission during actual
use of the power tool can differ from the declared
total value depending on the ways in which the
tool is used:
• How the materials are grinded, cut or drilled.
• If the tool is in good condition and well maintained.
• Use correct accessory for the tool and ensure it is
sharp and in good condition.
• The tightness of the gripping handles.
• The tool is being used as intended by its design
and these instructions.
While working with this power tool, hand/arm
vibrations occur. Adopt the correct working
practices in order to reduce the exposure
to vibration. This tool may cause hand-arm
vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately
managed.
MNL_Erbauer_18V DC Paddle Mixer_EPM18-Li_V2_220117 II.indd 18 1/17/22 12:21 PM

19
WARNING! Identify safety measures to protect the
operator that are based on an estimation of exposure
in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all
parts of the operating cycle such as the times when
the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in
addition to the trigger time).
