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, thermosetting resin and
similar substances. Use the right mixing tool for the
consistency of the material and the quantity to be
mixed.
Please refer to the information in the technical data
when choosing the size of mixing tool (diameter/
mixing action). If the wrong mixing action 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 action from the top down
puts a greater strain on the electrical tool than one
with the reverse mixing action.
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 preparation
of foodstuffs.
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.
Fitting the stirrer / tool change-over (Fig. A):
Insert the mixing tool with the HEXAFIX mount in the
coupling until it locks. Make sure that the markings
on the mixing attachments match those of the
respective mixing shaft when you fit them (I + II). For
trouble-free operation the markings must match up.
In addition, the stirrers can only be fitted in certain
positions. 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
action to be reversed. This can be an advantage
for liquid materials. Please note, however: This
places greater strain on the drive unit. The supplied
protective caps are designed to prevent the
HEXAFIX coupling getting dirty and help contribute
to trouble-free operation.
Operation
►Check that the power supply shown on the
rating plate is the same as the mains power
supply.
Always reduce the speed when submerging the
mixing tool in the mixing material or lifting 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. Continue mixing until all of the
mixing material is completely mixed. Please follow
the processing instructions of the manufacturer of
the material.
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 bottom of the tub) while running, it may kick
back.
Set the machine down resting on the guard
handle after you have finished your mixing work.
Always
hold
the
machine with both
hands.
Press
the
starting
lockout button (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.
