Safety instructions for agitators
a) Hold the power tool with both hands by the handles
provided. Loss of control may result in injury.
b) To avoid a dangerous atmosphere, ensure adequate
ventilation when mixing flammable substances. Vapours
formed may be inhaled or ignited by sparks generated by
power tools.
c) Do not stir any food. Power tools and their implements are
not designed for processing food.
d) Keep the power cords away from the work area. The
power cord can get caught in the beater.
e) Ensure that the agitator tank is firmly and safely posi-
tioned. An improperly secured container may move unex-
pectedly.
f) Make sure that no liquid splashes against the housing of
the power tool. Liquid entering the power tool may cause
damage and electric shock.
g) Follow the directions and safety instructions for the
material to be mixed. The material to be mixed can be
harmful to health.
h) If the power tool falls into the material to be mixed, im-
mediately unplug the power plug and have the power
tool checked by qualified personnel. Reaching into the
container with the power tool still hanging from the socket in-
side it can lead to an electric shock.
i) During the stirring process, do not reach into the agita-
tor container with your hands or insert any other ob-
jects. Contact with the beater can lead to serious injuries.
j) Only let the power tool start up and come to a stop in
the agitator tank. The beater can spin around or bend in an
uncontrolled manner.

More safety warnings - „Electrical safety"
 Design of the connection cable according to IEC 60 245 (H
07 RN-F) with a core cross-section of at least
 3 x 1.5 mm² for a maximum cable length of up to 25 m
 3 x 2.5 mm² for cable lengths over 25m
 Long and thin connection lines result in a potential drop.
The motor does not reach any longer its maximal power; the
function of the device is reduced.
 Plugs and coupler outlets on connection cables must be
made of rubber, non-rigid PVC or other thermoplastic mate-
rial of same mechanical stability or be covered with this ma-
terial.
 The connector of the connection cable must be splash-
proof.
