hazardous atmosphere. Developing vapour may be inhaled or be ignited by the
sparks the power tool produces.
c) Do not mix food. Power tools and their accessories are not designed for
processing food.
d) Keep the cord away from the working area. The cord may be entangled by the
mixer basket.
e) Ensure that the mixing container is placed in a firm and secure position. A
container that is not properly secured may move unexpectedly.
f) Ensure that no liquid splashes against the housing of the power tool.
Liquid that has penetrated the power tool can cause damage and lead to
electric shock.
g) Follow the instructions and warnings for the material to be mixed. Material
to be mixed may be harmful.
h) If the power tool falls into the material to be mixed, unplug the tool
immediately and have the power tool checked by a qualified repair person.
Reaching into the bucket with the tool still plugged in can lead to electric
shock.
i) Do not reach into the mixing container with your hands or insert any other
objects into it while mixing. Contact with the stirrer basket may lead to
serious personal injury.
j) Start up and run down the tool in the mixing container only. The mixer
basket may bend or spin in an uncontrolled manner.
Additional Safety Instructions:
Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
Observe the maximum permitted agitator paddle diameter (see technical data).
There will be reverse torque at the handle. Always hold the machine with both hands on the intended handles, take a secure stance and concentrate on the work.
Secure the stirring container against turning. Always wear protective goggles, gloves, and a breathing mask when working with the machine.
Wear ear protectors when working for long periods of time. High noise levels over a prolonged period of time may affect your hearing.
Keep hands away from the rotating tool!
Do not mix solvents or materials containing solvents with a flashpoint below 21°C. Hazardous vapours or explosive mixtures may form during processing.
Reducing dust exposure:
WARNING – Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
– Lead from lead-based paints,
– Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
– Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
This also applies to dust from other materials such as some timber types (like oak or beech dust), metals, asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g. allergic reactions, respiratory diseases. Do not let dust enter the body.
Observe the relevant guidelines and national regulations for your material, staff, application and place of application (e.g. occupational health and safety regulations, disposal).
Collect the particles generated at the source, avoid deposits in the surrounding area.
Use suitable accessories for special work. In this way, fewer particles enter the environment in an uncontrolled manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
– do not direct the escaping particles and the exhaust air stream at yourself
or nearby persons or on dust deposits,
– use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers,
– ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep clean using a vacuum
cleaner. Sweeping or blowing stirs up dust.
– Vacuum or wash the protective clothing. Do not blow, beat or brush.
