FRAME ASSEMBLY

WARNING! ENSURE THE TOOL IS SWITCHED OFF AND DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE PERFORMING ANY OF THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS.

Assembling The Wheel Bracket
Note: It is recommended that 2 people assemble the cement mixer.

Use assembly fasteners bag A.

On one end of the wheel bracket, insert a split pin into the inner hole. Bend the ends outwards so that the pin does not fall out. Slide a washer onto the shaft on the wheel
bracket, followed by a wheel and then another washer. Insert a second split pin into the outer hole and deform the ends as well.
Note: The flat face of the wheel should face outwards.
Repeat Step 1 for the other end of the wheel bracket and wheel.

Attaching The Support Leg & Wheel Bracket

Use assembly fasteners bag B.

Slide the support leg onto the frame. Insert 2 M8x70 bolts through the support leg and frame, then place a washer and spring washer onto each bolt. Secure with the nuts
provided
Note: Attach the support leg to the correct end of the frame. Refer to the arrow labels on the frame for proper orientation.
Repeat Step 1 with the wheel bracket on the other end of the frame.
Tighten all the bolts and nuts securely

DRUM ASSEMBLY

Attaching The Lower Drum Use assembly fasteners bag C.

Slide the drive shaft bracket onto the narrower shaft of the lower drum. Use the ø42mm rubber ring to hold the drive shaft bracket in place.
With the help of a second person, carefully set the lower drum into the frame assembly so that the shaft brackets slot into the channels provided by the frame.
Note: The larger diameter shaft should be above the support leg.
Place an M8x65 bolt through the hole in the frame, the drive shaft bracket, a washer, and a spring washer, and then secure it with a nut.
Repeat Step 3 with the other side of the lower drum assembly. ****

Fastening The Mixing Blades Use assembly fasteners bag D.

Slide an M8x20 screw through the base of the drum from the outside. Then place a rubber washer on the screw, followed by the mixing blade, a washer, a spring washer,
and then fasten a nut loosely onto the end of the screw. Note: Ensure the mixing blades are in the correct orientation. The mixer blades cannot be secured properly if the blades are upside down. Do not tighten the screw yet as it may make attaching the upper drum more difficult.
Repeat Step 1 with the other mixing blade.

Assembling The Upper Drum Use assembly fasteners bag E.

Place the upper drum over the rim of the lower drum, making sure to align the mounting holes in both halves.
Note: Arrow labels have been placed on the outside of the drum as a reference for aligning the two drum halves. The corresponding mounting holes must be lined up to secure the mixing blades properly.
Place a spring washer and then washer onto a M8x20 screw, then place this through a threaded hole in the rim of the upper drum.
Repeat Step 3 with the other 5 M8x20 screws around the rim, then tighten all the screws progressively until all 6 are secure.
Slide a rubber washer between the inside of the upper drum and one of the mixing blades, making sure to align all 3 holes. Then place a M8x20 screw through this
assembly from the outside of the drum. Slide a washer, then a spring washer onto the screw and fasten with a nut on the inside.
Repeat Step 4 with the other mixing blade.

Insert the metal disc and then the spring into the sleeve in the middle of the tipping wheel. Holding the spring in place with your finger, slide the tipping wheel onto the
shaft in front of the locking late until the holes in the tipping wheel bracket line up with the holes on the shaft.
Slide a washer onto the M10x65 bolt, and place this through the holes in the tipping wheel bracket and shaft. Slide on another washer and then secure this with a nut.
Note: Do not over-tighten the bolt and nut against each other as this will prevent the wheel from pivoting about the bolt and allow you to control the tilt of the mixer drum.

MOTOR ASSEMBLY

Connecting The Motor Use assembly fasteners bag H.

Slide the motor case over the pinion shaft, making sure to line the threaded stubs on the case with the holes on the frame.
Secure these stubs with the washers and M8 nuts.

OPERATION

CEMENT MIXER SETUP

Unit Placement
The product may only be placed on a flat surface. To provide added stability screw the product to a concrete floor with the proper fixation materials including bolts, screws and washers.

WARNING! DO NOT PLACE ANY MATERIAL UNDER THE PRODUCT TO ADJUST THE HEIGHT OR TO ATTEMPT TO IMPROVE ITS STABILITY! IF THE
THE PRODUCT IS ON AN ANGLE AND/OR WOBBLY, MOVE IT TO A DIFFERENT LOCATION. NEVER OPERATE THE PRODUCT ON SOFT SURFACES
SUCH AS A LAWN OR GRAVEL SINCE IT COULD SINK OR TIP OVER DURING OPERATION!

The Support Leg has two mounting holes that can be used to ensure sufficient stability. Use two screws or bolts (not included, recommended size M10 ) to secure it to a suitable
surface.

Drip Loop
To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or PowerPoint getting wet, the user should arrange a “drip loop” in the cord connecting the cement mixer to a wall-mounted powerpoint.
The “drip loop” is the part of the cord that sits below the level of the PowerPoint (or the connector if an extension cord is used). It prevents water traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the PowerPoint.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery- operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety
- Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
- Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks that may ignite the dust or fumes.
- Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
- Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
- Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
- Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
- Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
- When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
- Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
- Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
- Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
- Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
- Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
- Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
- If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
- Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
Power tool use and care
- Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
- Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
- Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
- Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
- Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
- Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
- Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Service
- Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
