Safety Precautions
Always follow these safety precautions when operating
the RED DEVIL EQUIPMENT Speed Demon Paint Mixer:
INSTALLATION
1. Before operating the machine, read this Owner’s
Manual carefully. Learn the machine’s applications
and limitations.
2. Ground the machine properly. Be sure to follow
proper grounding and electrical procedures.
3. Avoid extension cords. To minimize the risk of
tripping, improper electrical grounding, or over-
loading, extension cords are not recommended.
4. Use the proper power source. Refer to the
machine data plate. If the machine data plate has
been removed or is unreadable, call the RED DEVIL
EQUIPMENT Customer Service Department (see
the back cover of this Owner’s Manual) before con-
necting the mixer to a power source.
5. Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use the
machine in a damp or wet environment. Keep the
work area well lit.
6. Keep the work area clean. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents. To prevent accidents, be
sure all electrical cords are out of the way.
OPERATION
1. Keep Customers away. All customers should be
kept away from the work area. The mixer should be
used only by properly trained workers.
MAINTENANCE
1. Keep the machine clean. Clean all surfaces with a
mixture of lukewarm water and mild detergent.
Avoid solvent based cleaners or thinners.
2. To avoid electric shock, don’t get the timer, control
panel, or wiring wet.
3. Disconnect the electric plug. When cleaning the
mixer or doing maintenance work, always unplug the
machine.
4. Service properly. Follow the maintenance proce-
dures outlined in this manual. If problems occur,
contact the RED DEVIL EQUIPMENT Customer
Service Department (see back cover of this Owner’s
Manual).

Manual carefully. Learn the machine’s applications
and limitations.
2. Ground the machine properly. Be sure to follow
proper grounding and electrical procedures
described below.
3. Avoid extension cords. To minimize the risk of
tripping, improper electrical grounding, or over-
loading, extension cords are not recommended.
4. Use the proper power source. Refer to the
machine data plate. If the machine data plate has
been removed or is unreadable, call the RED DEVIL

Assembly
The Speed DemonSQ Mixer is shipped fully-assembled.
Remove the long shipping bolts that extend out of the bot-
tom of the mixer into the pallet. Unpack the machine and
set it on a firm and level surface.
IMPORTANT: Before Plugging in the machine or
attempting to operate it, remove all packing material.
Plug machine into an appropriate grounded receptacle
(see below).
The machine MUST BE GROUNDED. If there should be
an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric
current.
The machine’s power cord has a grounding wire with an
appropriate grounding plug. This plug must be inserted
into an electrical outlet that is properly installed and
grounded according to all local codes and ordinances.
If you must repair or replace the power cord or plug, do
not connect the grounding wire to either flat-blade termi-
nal. The wire with insulation having an outer surface that
is green (with or without yellow stripes) is the grounding
wire.
Check with a qualified electrician if you don’t completely
understand these grounding instructions, or if you are not
sure whether the machine is properly grounded. Do not
Electrical Connection and Grounding Requirements
modify the plug provided: if it won’t fit in the outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
110V Units
Machines rated at 110V, 60 Hz are for use on a nominal
120V circuit. These machines have a grounding plug that
looks like the one shown in Fig. 2.
Extension Cords
Avoid using extension cords. If an extension cord is
unavoidable, consult a qualified electrician to determine
what type of extension cord will satisfy the grounding, cur-
rent capacity, and other requirements or the particular sit-
uation

Operation
Safety Precautions
1. Before operating the machine, read this
Owner’s Manual carefully. Learn the machine’s
applications and limitations.
2. Be sure machine is properly grounded. See the
“Installation” section for details
3. Do not use in hazardous environment.
Avoid dust and flammable vapor. Use factory
container only. Do not mix highly-flammable
materials that have low flash points (such as
gasoline, or concentrated thinners and solvents).
4. Close can lids tightly. If the can lid has been
opened, reclose it tightly before mixing.
5. Do not mix in breakable containers. No glass,
porcelain, or other breakable containers.
6. Insert the can carefully to ensure that it is held
securely during the mixing cycle. Do not use if the
can is damaged or missing bail handles.
7. Keep the work area clean. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents. To prevent accidents, be
sure all electrical cords are out of the way.
8. Keep Customers away. All customers should be
kept away from the work area. The mixer should be
used only by properly trained workers.
9. Counterweight Insert. To extend machine life,
use of the aluminum handle insert counterweight
is recommended.
Mixing Procedure
NOTE: If colorant has been added to the paint, be
sure to reattach paint can lid tightly (using the RED
DEVIL EQUIPMENT 1-Gallon Pail Press, Part
No. 0-5090-01for round cans only).
1. Open the cabinet Door
2. Load the can into the machine for mixing:
a. Round Gallon Cans. Insert the can into the can
holder. Slip the bail handle into the clip retainers,
making sure can is all the way to the bottom
between the four lower tabs in the canholder.
Square Gallon Cans. Insert the can into the can
holder. Push can down until fully seated at the
bottom of the can holder.
Quart Cans. Place the can inside the special
adapter (Fig. 3). Set round quart cans horizontal-
ly, with lid up (A); set square quart cans vertically,
lid up (B). Insert the adapter into the can holder.
Make sure the adapter lugs are lined up with the
bail retainers (C) and adapter is all the way to the
bottom of the canholder.
b. Close the cabinet door. The mixer has a safety
switch to prevent operation if the door is open.
c. Set the timer to the desired setting .
