Additional Safety Information for
Mixing Machines
• This machine is designed for mixing water-based liquids with powdered building materials
including, but not limited to thinset, sealing and levelling compounds, cement, grout, textured
coatings, etc.
• With the correct accessory attached, this tool may be used to blend dispersion paints, varnish,
resins and other coatings
• This machine is NOT intended to be used with dusty compounds such as graphite, or with salt
solutions, corrosive agents or liquid manure
• This product does NOT satisfy food hygiene standards and is NOT to be used for preparing food
or as a kitchen appliance
• Always use the CORRECT mixing paddle or accessory for the material being mixed. Working
with an incorrect accessory might overload the tool and lead to spillage, insufficient blending
or personal injury
• Always inspect the power cord and connector before use. If you locate any damage, have the cord
replaced by a qualified electrician before attempting to use the machine
• Before use, check the accessories are safely installed
• NEVER use the machine in damp or wet locations. If the machine gets wet, ensure it is

Before Use
WARNING: Ensure the tool is disconnected from the power supply before attaching or
changing any accessories, or making any adjustments.
Attaching a mixing paddle
WARNING: Always disconnect from the power supply before attaching/changing accessories.
WARNING: Never fit any attachment with a maximum speed lower than the no load speed
of the machine.
• This plaster mixer is equipped with an M14 female Output Drive (3)
• M14 threaded mixing paddles are fitted by screwing them into the Output Drive. Tighten with
a suitable spanner
• Ensure that the mixing paddle is securely tightened before use
Operation
WARNING: ALWAYS wear eye protection, adequate respiratory and hearing protection, as well
as suitable gloves, when working with this tool.
Switching ON and OFF
WARNING: Always ensure that the power cord is not interfering with the mixing paddle or
presenting a tripping hazard for the operator or other personnel in the vicinity.
Note: The Switch Lock Button provides the dual function of preventing accidental operation of
the ON/OFF Trigger Switch; and also locking the ON/OFF Trigger Switch in the ON position for
continuous use.
• Grip the mixer firmly by the Handles (4), with both hands
• To start the mixer, press the Switch Lock Button (6) to release the ON/OFF Trigger Switch (5)
• Press and hold the ON/OFF Trigger Switch
• Press the Switch Lock Button to lock the tool in the 'ON' position
• To stop the mixer, squeeze the ON/OFF Trigger Switch and release
Gear selection
• The mixer is fitted with 2 gears, a higher torque lower speed gear (0-480min
higher viscosity liquids which need less rapid mixing and a higher speed gear (0-800min
lower viscosity liquids
• Select the required gear using the Gear Switch (9), (Fig. I)
Note: Never change gear while the mixer is operating.
Speed selection
• The mixer is fitted with variable speed control
• To alter the speed, simply adjust the Variable Speed Dial (8). The higher the number, the faster
the speed
Mixing of material
WARNING: ALWAYS wear adequate personal protection equipment when mixing compounds,
including safety goggles or a face shield, breathing protection (specific to the material used), gloves
(suitable for the material used), hearing protection, and a hard hat where required.
WARNING: This tool is designed for two-handed operation. Never use with one hand, or
attempt to mount stationary or prop-up against another object.
Note: ALWAYS refer to the compound manufacturers mixing requirements and recommendations.
• The shape and size of a mixing paddle that is ideal for a specific application will depend on the
type of material being mixed:
° Substances with a low viscosity such as dispersion paint, varnish,
thinset, sealing and levelling compounds, cement, grout etc., will
require a mixing paddle with a left-hand twist
° Substances with a high viscosity, such as ready-mixed plaster,
concrete, screed, putty and epoxy resin, will require a mixing paddle
with a right hand twist
• It is important to keep the paddle moving throughout the bulk of the material whilst mixing,
as opposed to keeping it in one central position in the mixing container. Mix until compound
is completely blended
WARNING: DO NOT overload the motor whilst mixing. When you recognise a significant drop in
speed, switch off immediately to avoid damage to the tool. Consider changing to a different mixing
paddle or accessory more suitable for the material.
WARNING: When you have completed the mixing procedure, allow the mixer to come to a
complete stop before lifting it out of the material. Make sure not to contaminate the environment
and clean-up potential spillage.
WARNING: To avoid damage to the machine and cross-contamination between different
materials, always clean the mixing paddle immediately after use. Don't let the material dry
on the accessory. Also, refer to the paragraph 'Cleaning' in the 'Maintenance' section below.
