Correct use according to manufacturer´s instructions

The machine corresponds to the applicable EC Machine Directive.

• The concrete mixer is intended exclusively for private use at home and in the garden.
• It should be operated only within the framework of the technical data.
• The concrete mixer is meant exclusively for the production of concrete and mortar.
• The applicable accident prevention rules and the other generally recognized technical safety regulations must be observed.
• The machine may be used, serviced, or repaired only by persons who are familiar with it and are instructed about its risks. Arbitrary alterations in the machine will free the manufacturer from any liability for the resulting damage.
• The machine is to be used only with the manufacturer’s original accessories and original tools.
• Any use that goes beyond this will be treated as improper use. The manufacturer will not be responsible for damage resulting from improper use; the risk will be borne solely by the user.
  Caution! The Following Actions are Forbidden: Operation in an atmosphere that is exposed to the risk of explosion Use in the food products industry Mixing explosive, combustible, and health-endangering substances.

Residual risks
The machine is built on the basis of the latest technology and in accordance with the recognized technical safety rules. Nevertheless, individual residual risks can occur while working.

• Risk of injury from rotating parts
• Risk from power where improper electrical connecting cables are used
• Further, indeterminate residual risks may remain even after taking all relevant preventive measures.
• Residual risks can be minimized if the safety instructions and conditions for proper use, as well as the operating instructions, are observed

Electrical connection

The installed electric motor is connected in operation-ready condition. The connection corresponds to the common VDE and DIN provisions.
The customer-side mains connection, as well as the used extension cable, must correspond to these specifications.
Important Instructions
n case of overload, the motor is switched off automatically.

• The motor can be activated again after a cooling period (different times for different models).
  Damaged Electrical Connecting Cables
  Electrical connecting cables frequently experience insulation damage. The causes are:

• Pressure points, if connecting cables are routed through windows or doors.

• Kinks, due to improper mounting or routing of the connecting cables.

• Cuts due to connecting cables being run over.

• Insulation damage due to tearing away from the wall socket.

• Cracks in insulation due to aging. Such damaged electrical connecting cables should not be used, they can be fatal due to damaged insulation! Check electrical connecting cables regularly for damage. Ensure that when checking the connecting cable, it does not hang from the power mains. Electrical connecting cables must correspond to the common VDE and DIN provisions. Use only connecting cables that have the designation H 07 RN. An imprint of the type designation on the connecting cable is mandatory.
  AC Motor
  AC motor 230 V/ 50 Hz, mains voltage 230 Volt / 50 Hz. The use of a residual current protection device (“FI“) is recommended for a 230V connection. If you use an extension cable, insert it directly into the FI.
  

If operating it in Switzerland, insert the concrete mixer only in sockets that are protected by a residual current-operated circuit breaker.
The mains connection and extension cable can have 3 wires as well as 2. 3-wire: P + N + SL. – (1/N/PE); 2-wire: P + N – (1/N)
Extension cables must have a minimum cross-section of 1.5 mm².
Connecting cable, plug, and coupling jack must be protected against water spray.
The mains connection is protected with a maximum 16A fuse.
Connections and repairs of the electrical equipment should be performed by electricians only.
Please quote the following information in your queries:

• Current type of motor.
• Data on the machine rating plate.
  When returning the motor, always send the complete drive unit with the switch.

Information on noise

The noise levels of the machine during operation are as follows: LpA : 73,2dB(A) K=3dB(A) LwA : 93dB(A) K=3dB(A) Vibration: 4.51m/s 2 K=1.5m/s 2
Warning: Noise can seriously damage your health. If the engine noise exceeds 85 dB (A), please wear appropriate hearing protection. If the electrical connection is faulty, the current may drop when the machine starts. This may affect other machines (e.g. flashing lights). If the electric output corresponds to Zmax <0.27, such in- terference should not occur. (If it does, notify your dealer).

• The vibration emission value given below has been measured by a standardized test, and can be used for comparing one power tool to another;
• The vibration emission value given below may also be used for the first assessment of exposure. Warning:
• The vibration emission value may vary during the actual use of the power tool from the specified value, depending on the manner in which the power tool is used;
• Try to keep exposure to vibration to a minimum. Examples of ways to reduce vibration levels are wearing gloves when using the tool and limiting working hours. In doing so, all parts of the operating cycle must be taken into account (for example, times in which the power tool is turned off, or when it is turned on without load).

• To move the drum, pull back the hand wheel so that the drum can be moved.

• When the drum is in the desired position, lock the hand wheel again. Filling

• Before filling the drum, ensure that the opening is aligned in such a way that the mixture cannot fall out of the drum. (Fig. 13)

• Put the mixture in when the drum is rotating (do not overfill the drum) Caution! Risk of moving parts Emptying

• Swivel the drum in a downward direction to empty it

• Ensure that there is an adequate container under the drum (e.g., wheelbarrow).

• Ensure that no mixture falls on the ground

Transport

Caution!
Pull the power plug out, every time, before transporting the machine.

1. Set the filling opening downwards.
2. During transportation by motor vehicle, remove the screws and fold the stands.
