Care and Maintenance
Before the beginning of maintenance or repair works you have to disconnect the plug from the mains.
Repairs may be executed only by appropriately qualified and experienced personnel. After every repair
the machine has to be inspected by an electric specialist. Due to its design, the machine needs a
minimum of care and maintenance. However, the following points always have to be observed:
Always keep the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
During work, please pay attention that no particles get inside the machine.
In case of failure, a repair has to be carried out by an authorised service workshop.
Environmental Protection
Raw material recycling instead of waste disposal
In order to avoid damages on transportation, the power tool has to be delivered in sturdy packing. The
packing as well as the tool and its accessories are made of recyclable materials and can be disposed
accordingly.
The tool’s plastic components are marked according to their material, which makes it possible to remove
environmental friendly and differentiated because of available collection facilities
Only for EU countries
Do not dispose of electric tools together with household waste material!
In observance of European Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic
equipment and its implementation in accordance with national law, electric tools that have
reached the end of their life must be collected separately and returned to an
environmentally compatible recycling facility
Noise Emission / Vibration
The indication of noise emission is measured according to DIN 45 635, part 21. The level of acoustic
pressure on the work place could exceed 85 dB (A); in this case protection measures must be taken
Wear ear protectors!
The typical hand-arm vibration is below 2.5 m/s².
Measured values determined according to EN 60 745
Vibration emission value ah 0,8 m/s2
Uncertainty K 0,1 m/s2
The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is
used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission
may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool
is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the
exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as:
maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.

Dust Protection
Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some wood species, minerals and metal may be
harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases
to the operator or bystanders.
Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic such as oak and beech dust especially in conjunction
with additives for wood conditioning (chromate, wood preservative). Material containing asbestos must
only be treated by specialists.
Where the use of a dust extraction device is possible it shall be used.
To achieve a high level of dust collection, use an appropriate industrial vacuum cleaner together with
this machine.
The work place must be well ventilated.
The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is recommended
Warranty
According to our general terms of delivery for business dealings, suppliers have to provide to companies
a warranty period of 12 months for redhibitory defects (to be documented by invoice or delivery note).

operating.
Operating Hints
Best results are achieved when:
Dry ingredients are added gradually while the mixer is running.
Mixing instructions are accurately followed.
The mixing helix is totally immersed in the mix.
Mixing Methods
Read material manufacturers mixing instructions before mixing.
DO NOT mix ignitable or toxic materials. Ensure adequate ventilation is provided.
For Dry Materials To Be Mixed With Liquids
1. Measure the correct amount of liquids into the mixing canister. Wet the sides of the canister.
2. Run the mixer on low speed.
3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the liquid. A 20-25 kg bag of dry ingredients should take about
20-30 seconds to pour into the mixing canister in a consistent flow.
4. Do Not Dump Product In All At Once Or A Lumpy Mixture Will Result.
5. When three quarters of the dry ingredients have been added to the liquid, the mixer can then be run
on high speed.
6. Add the rest of the ingredients. Ensure That The Mixing Helix Is Totally Covered. It may be
necessary to select a mixing shaft with a shorter helix to mix a small batch, or a larger helix to mix a
full batch. This will ensure thorough mixing.
For Wet Pre-Mixed Products
1. Pour product to be mixed or blended into mixing canister
2. Ensure That The Mixing Helix Is Totally Covered. It may be necessary to select a mixing shaft with a
shorter helix to mix a small batch, or a larger helix to mix a full batch. This will ensure thorough
mixing.
