NOTICE: FOR CEMENT AND MORTAR ONLY.

UNDERSTAND YOUR MIXER

Read and understand the owner’s manual and labels affixed to the mixer. Learn its application and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to it. Become familiar with the controls before operating this mixer.

DRESS PROPERLY

Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry (rings, wrist watches). They can be caught in moving parts. Protective electrically non-conductive gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair, preventing it from getting caught in machinery. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty. Always wear safety goggles and/or face shields. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses.

DANGER

• Do not operate the cement mixer in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Electric motors create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Do not use in wet conditions.

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 the cement mixer drum before operating.

• The cement mixer should be on a level surface to prevent tipping, rolling or falling.

KEEP VISITORS AND CHILDREN AWAY

Keep unauthorized persons away from the mixer. Do not allow children to handle or climb on or in the mixer.

AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS

Make sure there is adequate surrounding workspace. Keep your work area clean and well lighted. Cluttered areas invite injuries. Keep area around the mixer clear of obstructions, grease, oil, trash and other debris which could cause persons fall onto moving parts. Only use or operate the mixer on solid, flat, level ground that is capable to support the weight of the mixer and its load to prevent the mixer from tipping over. Do not attempt to move the mixer when it is loaded and/or in operation. This mixer is intended for the production of concrete, mortar and plaster. It is not suitable for the mixing of flammable or explosive substances. Do not use it in areas where fumes from paint, solvents or flammable liquids pose a potential hazard.

DISCONNECT POWER

Never open the motor cover before unplugging the mixer. Disconnect from power supply when not in use, before moving, making adjustments, changing parts, cleaning, or working on the mixer. Consult technical manual before servicing.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

DANGER

• When operating the cement mixer outdoors or in a damp location, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply.

• When operating the cement mixer outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

• 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.

• 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. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the unit. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Ensure power cord is in good condition before each use. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

• Never modify the plug in any way. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

CAUTION

• Use On/Off buttons for Starting/Stopping the cement mixer.

AVOID INJURY FROM UNEXPECTED ACCIDENT

Keep hands out of the way of all moving parts. Do not place any part of your body or any tool, like shovel in the drum during operation.

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 use the cement mixer while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating may result in serious personal injury.

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.

DO NOT FORCE TOOL

It will do a better and safer job at its design rate. Always work within the rated capacity. Do not start the motor if the drum is fully loaded. Do not turn mixer off while full of concrete. Do not use the mixer for a purpose for which it was not intended.

WARNING

• Never leave cement mixer running unattended.

• Do not allow persons unfamiliar with the cement mixer or these instructions to operate the cement mixer.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source before servicing, adjusting, installing accessories or attachments.

CAUTION

• Ensure drum is empty before transporting.

• Do not overload mixer. See Specifications 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 mixers.

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 important when motor overload protection shuts off the motor to prevent motor damage.

• 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 operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

• Only use accessories recommended by the manufacturer.

PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

Take left over materials to an authorized collection point or follow the stipulations in the country where the mixer is used. Do not discharge into drains, soil or water.

NOTE

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.
