EN Proper use
The machine is designed for mixing liquid and
powder-based building products such as paints,
mortar, adhesives, plaster 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 mixing tool mount:
Take the HEXAFIX coupling or size M14 adapter
supplied with the packaging and screw it to the male
thread of the mixing shaft.
Fitting the mixing tool / tool change-over:
HEXAFIX (Fig. A)
Insert the mixing tool with the HEXAFIX mount in
the coupling until it locks. To release or change
the mixing tools, simply pull back the handle-collar
on the coupling and this releases the mixing tool.
(Fig. C)
M14 (Fig. B)
Screw the mixing tool with a size M14 male thread
into the M14 adapter on the mixing shaft. The mixing
tool tightens itself during operation.
To release the mixing tool you will need one SW 22
and one SW 24 open-ended wrench. Place the one
open-ended wrench on the adapter and the other on
the hexagonal holding fixture and turn them both in
opposite directions to one another until the mixing
tool is released.
Operation
►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.
1.
2.
Always work with the ON/OFF switch fully pressed.
To stop working, release the ON/OFF switch.
Machines with 2-speed gear units (Xo4/Xo6)
have two maximum speeds available (First gear:
Slow / Second gear: Fast).
To change from one gear
to the other, turn the gear
selection lever through 180°.
Only ever actuate it when the
machine is at a standstill.

WARNING
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.
For transportation purposes the HEXFIX mixing tool
can be inserted through the hexagon punch-hole
provided in the handle frame.
Press the starting lockout
button (1).
Press the ON/OFF switch
(2).
The more pressure
apply to the ON/OFF switch,
the faster the machine will
run. The ON/OFF switch
cannot be locked!
