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 Ozito Cement Mixer OZCM44A has been designed
to mix cement, feeds, fertilizers, potting soils and the like.
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.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an electrician or a power
tool repairer in order to avoid a hazard.
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/or 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
Loading the drum
IMPORTANT: Completely unwind an extension cord (not supplied). Connect it to the
concrete mixer first before connecting to a power supply.
IMPORTANT: Always start the mixer before loading the drum. Load the drum while
it’s rotating.
IMPORTANT: Ensure material is not all loaded into the mixer at once. Add the
material steadily over the mixing blades instead to avoid the material from sticking to
the back of the drum.
Note: A built-in thermal protector has been built into the motor to prevent it from
overheating. The thermal protector restores automatically when the motor cools down.
For best loading results, proceed as follows:
•Add the required amount of stone into the drum.
• Add the required amount of sand into the drum.
• Add the required amount of cement into the drum.
• Pour the required amount of water into the drum.
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 mixer as close as possible to the work site. Do not move the mixer
when loaded. The front handle is only to be used to move the mixer when
the drum is empty.
4. Re-tighten all bolts and nuts after mixing for the first time.
Emptying the drum
IMPORTANT: Do not turn the mixer off while it’s full of material. Empty the drum with
the drum rotating.
Pour the mixed concrete by releasing the drum lock mechanism and lifting the dump
control handle while the machine is running. Be sure to pour the mix slowly and
smoothly to avoid tilting the concrete mixer.

OPERATION (cont.)
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 or paint thinner, dry cleaning fluids or similar products.
The use of chemical products or solvents may damage the motor cover.
Thoroughly clean the mixer at the end of each days operation.
Keep your mixer clean. The slightest trace of material left in the drum will harden
and attract more material each time the machine is used.
Dried cement should be scraped out of the drum.
DO NOT throw bricks into the mixer drum 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 inside and out.
The IP55 protection clad construction of the mixer enables the DRUM ASSEMBLY
ONLY to be hosed down safety. Avoid getting water on the motor housing, DO
NOT wet the motor.
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. Lubricate all moving parts periodically. Wipe and other parts with an oily cloth
to keep corrosion to a minimum.
4. During normal use, painted surfaces can loose their coating during the mixing
process. Wipe all exposed surfaces regularly with an oily rag to prevent
corrosion. (Note: Rust is not a warrantable claim.)
5. Keep air vents clean of dust and dirt.
6. 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.
7. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by an electrician or a
power tool repairer.
8. Regularly check that all bolts, screws and nuts are securely fixed as these could
work loose during normal operation.
9. Check and maintain tyre pressure @ 206kPa (30psi)
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.
