SAFETY GUIDELINES DEFINITIONS
OBSERVE WORK AREA CONDITIONS (CONTINUED)
WARNING:
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating the cement mixer.
• Work area should be clear of debris and obstructions.
• Ensure all tools and other equipment are removed from area and he
cement mixer drum before operating.
• The cement mixer should be on a level surface to prevent tipping,
rolling or falling.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
DANGER:
• When operating the cement mixer outdoors or in a damp environment,
us a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected power supply.
• USE ONLY ON GROUNDED 3 PRONG 120V, 60Hz OUTLETS
• USE ONLY 3 WIRE 14AWG MINIMUM WITH 3 BLADE GROUNDING
PLUG AND A 3 SLOT RECEPTACLE.
• UNDERSIZED CORDS WILL CAUSE VOLTAGE DROP RESULTING IN
LOSS OF POWER AND OVERHEATING
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surface such as pipes, radi-
ators, ranges and refrigerators. This is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
• DO NOT EXPOSE CEMENT MIXER TO RAIN OR WET CONDITIONS.
Water entering an electric motor will increase the risk of electric shock.
WARNING:
• Do not abuse the cord. Keep cord away fromheat, oil, sharp objects and
moving parts. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or unplugging the
unit.
• Never modify the plug in anyway.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer,
service agents or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. 2

PERSONAL SAFETY
DANGER:
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Do not place hands or tools (ie. shovel) in or around the drum while operating.
Personal injury could occur.
• DO NOT place hands in or around the drum while operating.
WARNING:
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce the risk of personal injuries.
CEMENT MIXER USE AND CARE
WARNING:
• Disconnect the plug from the power source before servicing, adjusting, installing ac-
cessories or attachments.
• Never leave cement mixer running unattended. Always unplug when not in use.
• Do not allow persons unfamiliar with the cement mixer or these instructions to operate
the cement mixer.
• Contact electrician if grounding instructions are not understood.
CAUTION:
• Ensure drum is empty before transporting.
• Do not overload mixer. See Specifications, page 2 for load capacity. Overloading could
cause damage to the cement mixer.
• Store cement mixer out of the reach of children.
• Maintain the cement mixer. Check for wear and damaged parts. Before each use ensure
the cement mixer operates properly. Any broken or missing parts must be repaired or
replaced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained cement mixer.
NOTE:
• Keep the cement mixer clean. Clean after each use.
• Ensure drum is rotating when filling or emptying the mixer. This ensures a good mix and
prevents damage to the motor.
• Be familiar with concrete mix being used, particularly quick set formulas. This is import-
ant when motor overload protection shuts o the motor to prevent motor damage.
• Only use accessories recommended by the manufacturer.
• Always practice environment pollution procedures. Clean out the drum in a designated
area where the concrete and rinse water can be contained. Concrete and rinse water
can pollute storm drains and surface water.
• Use the cement mixer in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the cement mixer for opera-
tions dierent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
SERVICE
WARNING:
• Have the cement mixer serviced by a qualified repair person using identical re-
placement parts. This ensures the cement mixer is properly maintained.
