Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are  not safety glasses.

• DO NOT ABUSE CORD
  Never carry by the cord or yank it to disconnect it from the socket. Keep cord from heat, oil and sharp edges.

• EXTENSION CORDS
  Extension cords must be no longer than 50 meters in length. The wire section must be 1.5mm 2 on 230V to allow sufficient current flow to the motor. Improper use of extension cords may cause inefficient operation of the mixer which can result in overheating and motor damage. Only extension cords to H07RN-F specification intended for outdoor purpose may be used. Avoid use of free and inadequately insulated connections. Connections must be made with protected material suitable for outdoor use. Make sure that any extension cord connections are dry and safe. Ensure that the extension cord is carefully laid out avoiding liquids, sharp edges and places where vehicles might run over it. Avoid allowing the extension cord to be trapped underneath the mixer. Unroll it fully or it will overheat and could catch fire.

• AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK
  Check that the electric circuit is adequately protected and that it corresponds with the power, voltage and frequency of the motor. Do not plug or unplug the motor while standing in or around damp or wet ground. Do not use the mixer in wet or damp areas or expose it to rain. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces: pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures. Make sure your fingers do not touch the plug’s metal prongs when plugging or unplugging the mixer. After installation, the degree of protection for the BSI approved plug and socket combination shall be IP44D at least.
  Note:
  IP4XD means: the access probe of 1.0 mm diameter, 100 mm length, shall have adequate clearance from hazardous parts.
  IPX4 means: water splashed against the enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effects.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

LOADING
Completely unwind the extension cord. Connect it to the cement mixer first before plugging into the power supply.
Always start the mixer before loading the drum. Loading the drum with drum rotating.
Do not throw material into the mixer to avoid sticking firmly to the back of the drum. Trickle it steadily over the ram.
NOTE:
A built-in thermal protector is arranged in the motor to prevent it from overheating. The thermal protector restores automatically  when the motor cools down.
For best results, proceed as follows:

1. Add the required amount of gravel into the drum.
2. Add the required amount of cement into the drum.
3. Add the required amount of sand into the drum.
4. Pour the required amount of water into the drum.

EMPTYING
Do not turn the mixer off while full of load. Empty the drum with drum rotating.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Before starting any maintenance or repairs, stop engine or switch off motor, and isolate from the main power supply.
On completion of maintenance, check that the mixer functions correctly.
CLEANING
Never put your hands inside the drum while the drum is rotating.
Thoroughly clean the mixer at the end of each day’s operation. Keep your mixer clean. The slightest trace of material left in the drum will harden and attract more each time you use it until the machine is useless. Dried cement should be  scraped out of the drum. Do not throw bricks into the mixer drum to clean it out.
Do not pour or spray water directly over the motor cover, especially the openings in it.
Wipe off any external material on the motor. Do not use petrol, turpentine, lacquer or paint thinner, dry cleaning fluids or similar products.
