WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions 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) cement mixer.
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and
dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as 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 may cause
you to lose control.
d. This power tool is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the power tool.
2. Electrical Safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets
will reduce the risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
f. To reduce the risk of electric shock, the
manufacturer recommends the use of a residual
current device with a rated residual current of
30mA or less at all times.

3. Personal Safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating the power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are
tired or under the inuence 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 dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injury.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the o-position before connecting the
power source, picking up or carrying the tool.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
e. 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.
4. Power tool use and care
a. 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 o. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source
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 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 misalignments
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may aect the
power tools’operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. 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 dierent from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR
CEMENT MIXERS
• Read and understand the owner’s manual and
labels axed to the mixer. Learn its application
and limitations as well as the specic potential
hazards peculiar to it.
• Do not operate the mixer while under the
inuence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication
that could aect your ability to use it properly.
• Check your mixer before turning it on. Keep
guards in place and in working order. Form a
habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from tool area before
turning it on. Replace damaged, missing or
failed parts before using it.
• Always wear safety goggles and/or face shields.
Any mixer may throw foreign objects into the
eyes. This can cause permanent eye damage.
Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant
lenses. They are not safety glasses.
• Improper use of extension cords may cause
inecient operation of the mixer which can
result in overheating. Be sure the section of
extension cord is enough to allow sucient
current ow to the motor. Avoid use of free
and inadequately insulated connections.
Connections must be made with protected
material suitable for outdoor use.
• Check that the electric circuit is adequately
protected and that it corresponds with the
power, voltage and frequency of the motor.

• Never attempt any repairs yourself, always take it
to an authorised service centre for repair or parts
replacement.
• Keep the cement mixer and your work place
clean of debris and any unnecessary objects.

prevention regulations in force in your area as
well as all other generally recognised rules of
safety.
• Never use the cord for any other purpose other
than that for which it is intended.
• Unless otherwise stated in these instructions,
damaged safety devices and parts must be
repaired or replaced by an authorised service
facility.
• This tool complies with the pertinent safety
regulations.

CLEANING
• After every mix it is advisable to clear any
build-up of cement from the mixing paddles
inside the bowl. If left to dry the cement can be
extremely dicult to remove without damage to
the bowl.
• After the last mix it is advisable to wash and
clean all cement build up from both inside and
outside the bowl before the cement fully sets.
Avoid hitting the bowl with any objects and
pay particular attention to build up of cement
around the lip of the bowl.
• After cleaning the bowl the cement mixer
should be stored on the stand in the downwards
position to ensure all water is drained from the
bowl.
GENERAL INSPECTION
• Regularly check that all the bolts and nuts are
tight. They may vibrate loose over time.
• Inspect the power cord and plug for any signs of
damage and have any repairs performed before
use by an authorised service centre.
• Ensure to inspect any extension cables for
damage before use with the appliance.
REPAIRS
Only an authorised service centre should replace
the power cord or eect other repairs.
POWER CORD
If the power cord of this cement mixer is damaged
it must be replaced by an authorised service centre
or similarly qualied person to avoid a hazard.
