Congratulations on purchasing an Ozito Cement Mixer.
We aim to provide quality tools at an affordable price.
We hope you will enjoy using this tool for many years.
Your CMX-080 Compact Cement Mixer has been
designed for mixing cements, feed, fertilizers and
potting soils, it is intended for DIY use only.
Warning! When using mains-powered equipment, basic safety
precautions, including the following, should always be followed to reduce
risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury and material damage.
Read and understand the manual prior to operating this tool.
Save these instructions and other documents supplied with this tool for
future reference.
The electric motor has been designed for 230V and 240V only. Always check that the
power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Note: The supply of 230V and 240V on Ozito tools are interchangeable for
Australia and New Zealand.
This tool is double insulated in accordance with AS/NZS 60355; therefore
no earth wire is required.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an electrician or a power
tool repairer in order to avoid a hazard.
Note: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when
operating this tool. The insulation system is for added protection against injury
resulting from a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.
Using an Extension Lead
Always use an approved extension lead suitable for the power input of this tool.
Before use, inspect the extension lead for signs of damage, wear and ageing.
Replace the extension lead if damaged or defective. When using an extension lead
on a reel, always unwind the lead completely. Use of an extension lead not suitable
for the power input of the tool or which is damaged or defective may result in a
risk of fire and electric shock.
It is recommended that the extension lead is a maximum of 25m in length. Do Not

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Warning! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “Power Tool”
in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (corded)
power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) WORK AREA
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 in the
presence of flammable 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.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce 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.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing 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 safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before
plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
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) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (cont.)
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 these
devices 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 can not 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, unplugged & 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 tools
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 and in the manner intended for the particular type of
power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
h) This appliance 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.
i) Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.
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.
b) If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

OPERATION

OPERATION (cont.)
11
Turning the Cement Mixer On and Off
• To turn the cement mixer on, press the green button.
• To turn the cement mixer off, press the red button.
Loading the drum
IMPORTANT: Completely unwind an extension cord (not supplied). Connect it to
the cement mixer first before connecting to a power supply.
IMPORTANT: Always start the cement mixer before loading the drum assembly
(1). Load the drum assembly (1) while it’s rotating.
IMPORTANT: Ensure material is not loaded into the cement mixer all at once. Add
the material steadily over the mixing blades (12), this helps to avoid the material
from sticking to the back of the drum assembly (1).
For best loading results, proceed as follows:
• Add the required amount of stone into the drum assembly (1).
• Add the required amount of sand into the drum assembly (1).
• Add the required amount of cement into the drum assembly (1).
• Pour the required amount of water into the drum assembly (1).
Warnings:
1. Do not let the shovel mouth or any other devices enter the drum mouth
during loading.
2. Never place hands inside the revolving drum.
3. Place the cement mixer as close as possible to the work site. Do not
move the cement mixer when loaded.
4. Retighten all bolts attaching motor and motor housing assembly (2),
drum assembly (1) and frame assembly (5) after first mix.
Note: When measuring out cement and ballast (or sharp sand/gravel), use a small
bucket to ensure accurate ratios of cement: ballast. Refer to the instructions that
come with your cement.
Ensure your chosen quantity of concrete is large enough that the cement mixer will
function and small enough that it will fit in the drum assembly (1), see load sizes in
specifications section of manual to calculate quantities.
1. Turn the cement mixer on.
2. Add approximately half the ballast (or half the sand and half the gravel) required.
3. Add a small amount of water and allow it to wash around with the ballast for a
minute or two.
4. Add all the required cement.
5. Add the remaining ballast/sand/gravel and allow it to mix for a minute or two.

12
OPERATION (cont.)
6. Gradually add more water giving it a chance to mix in and keep an eye on the
consistency. A good mix should be smooth and plastic, not wet and runny or dry
and crumbly. The mix on the inside should come approximately 3/4 of the way up
to the top and then fall back into the mix, if the mix is not taken up the side, the
mixture is too wet.
Note: One of the most common mistakes made when mixing cement is adding too
much water. Add water in small quantities. If the mixture does get too wet, sprinkle in
handfuls of ballast and cement until it firms up.
IMPORTANT: Do not turn the mixer off while it’s full of material. Empty the drum with
the drum rotating.
7. When the mixture is the right consistency to use, empty the drum. Pour the mixed
cement by releasing the tipping handle (16) and rotating the drum to the empty
position (Fig.11) while the machine is running. Be sure to pour the mix slowly and
smoothly to avoid tilting the cement mixer.
8. When the drum is empty, turn the cement mixer off.

13
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Warning: Do not pour or spray water directly into or over the motor cover.
IMPORTANT: Never put any of your body parts (including hands) inside the drum
while it is rotating.
IMPORTANT: Wipe off any external material on the motor cover. Do not use
petrol, turpentine, lacquer, paint thinner, dry cleaning fluids or similar products.
The use of chemical products or solvents may damage the motor cover.
Thoroughly clean your cement mixer at the end of each days operation.
Keep your cement mixer clean. The slightest trace of material left in the drum
assembly (1) will harden and attract more material each time the machine is used.
Dried cement should be scraped out of the drum assembly (1).
DO NOT throw bricks into the drum assembly (1) to clean it out.
DO NOT beat on the drum with a shovel, hammer or other tools to break up
accumulation of dried cement mix as the cement mixer may be damaged.
The drum may be scoured for approximately 2 minutes, using a 1” stone and
water mixture. After this, discharge the stone/water mixture and hose down the
drum assembly (1) inside and out.
The IP44 protection clad construction of the mixer enables the DRUM ASSEMBLY
ONLY to be hosed down safely. Avoid getting water on the motor and motor
housing (8), DO NOT wet the motor and motor housing (8).
General Maintenance
1. Ensure that the power is disconnected from the tool prior to any maintenance
being carried out.
2. Ball bearings are packed with grease at the factory. No further lubrication of
bearings is required.
3. During normal use, painted surfaces can lose their coating during the mixing
process. Wipe all exposed surfaces regularly with an oily rag to prevent
corrosion. (Note: Loss of paint and rust are not covered under warranty.)
4. Keep air vents clean of dust and dirt.
5. Remove dust and dirt from the cement mixer regularly with soft cloth, brush or
compressed air. Use a mild detergent and a soft cloth to clean plastic parts.
6. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by an electrician or a
power tool repairer.
7. Regularly check that all bolts, screws and nuts are securely fixed as these
could work loose during normal operation.
Note: Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any damage or injuries caused
by the repair of the tool by an unauthorised person or by mishandling of the tool.
