Read and observe the opera琀椀ng instruc-
琀椀ons for the machine before you start it
up!
Always wear protec琀椀ve goggles and ear
protec琀椀on while working.
It is advisable to wear a dust mask whe-
never working with materials which ge-
nerate large amounts of dust.
Always wear protec琀椀ve gloves while
working.
Wear safety shoes with steel caps during
opera琀椀on
Proper use
The machine is designed for mixing liquid, granular and
powder-based building products such as paints, mortar,
concrete, adhesives, plaster, mixes containing silica sand,
thermose琀�ng resin and similar substances. Use the right
mixing tool for the consistency of the material and the
quan琀椀ty to be mixed.
Please refer to the informa琀椀on in the technical data
when choosing the size of mixing tool (diameter/
mixing ac琀椀on). If the wrong mixing ac琀椀on or mixing tool
diameter is selected, this may cause the machine/gear
unit to become overloaded and lead to damage as a
result. Please remember that a mixing tool with a mixing
ac琀椀on from the top down puts a greater strain on the
electrical tool than one with the reverse mixing ac琀椀on.
Given the high torque levels generated by the machine, it
must not be used as a power drill.
The machine must not be used for the prepara琀椀on of
foodstu昀昀s.
The machine is not suitable for mixing materials
containing graphite dust, brine or slurry. Mixing of
these materials or substances may damage the machine
beyond repair.
Assembly
► Always pull the power plug out of the socket outlet
before carrying out any work on the machine.
Fi琀�ng the s琀椀rrer / tool change-over (Fig. A):
Insert the mixing tool with the HEXAFIX mount in the
coupling un琀椀l it locks. Make sure that the markings on
the mixing a琀琀achments match those of the respec琀椀ve
mixing sha昀琀 when you 昀椀t them (I + II). For trouble-free
opera琀椀on the markings must match up. In addi琀椀on, the
s琀椀rrers can only be 昀椀琀琀ed in certain posi琀椀ons. This is to
ensure that they do not come into contact with each
other.
To release or change the mixing tools, simply pull back
the handle-collar on the coupling and this releases the
mixing tool.
Switching the mixing tools over allows the mixing ac琀椀on
to be reversed. This can be an advantage for liquid
materials. Please note, however: This places greater
strain on the drive unit. The supplied protec琀椀ve caps are
designed to prevent the HEXAFIX coupling ge琀�ng dirty
and help contribute to trouble-free opera琀椀on.
Opera琀椀on
► Check that the power supply shown on the rating
plate is the same as the mains power supply.
Always hold the machine with both hands.
Tips for safe working:
Always reduce the speed when submerging the mixing
tool in the mixing material or li昀琀ing it out. Once the
mixing tool is fully submerged, increase the speed again
to ensure that the motor is adequately cooled.
During mixing you should guide the machine around
the mixing container. Con琀椀nue mixing un琀椀l all of the
mixing material is completely mixed. Please follow the
processing instruc琀椀ons of the manufacturer of the
material.
You work be琀琀er and safer when the mixing tool used is
clean, free of material residues and in perfect condi琀椀on.
The greater the viscosity of the material, the greater
the impact of the torque forces on the machine, so you
should be prepared for this when you carry out your
work.
If the mixing tool comes into contact with a surface (e.g.
the bo琀琀om of the tub) while running, it may kick back.
Set the machine down res琀椀ng on the guard handle a昀琀er
you have 昀椀nished your mixing work.
Press the star琀椀ng lockout
bu琀琀on (1).
Press the ON/OFF switch (2).
The more pressure you apply to
the ON/OFF switch, the faster
the machine will run. The ON/
OFF switch cannot be locked!
Always work with the ON/OFF
switch fully pressed.
To stop working, release the
ON/OFF switch.
