General safety standards

ATTENTION!

Please read the entire instructions. Failure to fol-low the instructions below may result in causing
electric shock, fire and / or serious injuries.
Keep all safety information and instructions for fu-ture reference.
In this safety information the term “power tool” refers to mains operated power tools (with power cord) and battery operated power tools (without power cord).

Workplace

• Keep your work area clean and tidy. Cluttered and dark working areas are accident-prone.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmosphe-res, where flammable liquids, gases or dust are pre-sent. Power tools generate sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and other persons away while opera-ting a power tool. Distractions can be a reason for losing control of the tool.

Electrical safety

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adap-ter plugs with grounded devices. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Avoid physical contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. If your body is grounded the risk of an electric shock incre-ases.
• Do not expose the power tool to rain or wet condi-tions. Water that enters a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord; do not use the cord to carry or hang up the power tool or to unplug the power tool from the mains. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or the power tool’s moving parts. Damaged or tangled power cords will increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use only extension cords that are approved for outdoor use. The use of an extension cord that is adapted for out-door use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If working with the power tool in a damp location cannot be avoided, use a ground fault circuit inter-rupter. The use of a ground fault circuit interrupter reduces the risk of electric shock. Always check whether the mains voltage complies with the voltage specified on the nameplate of the power tool.

Personal safety

• Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use com-mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use the power tool while you are tired or under the influ-ence 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 sa-fety glasses. Safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat or ear protection depending on the type and use of the power tool will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure that the po-wer tool is switched off before connecting it to the power supply and/or battery, picking it up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invite accidents.
• Remove any adjusting tool or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key which has be-en left attached to a rotating part may induce per-sonal injury. Do not overreach. Keep
• proper footing and balance at all times. This enables you to better control the power tool in situations which cannot be foreseen.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-lery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair may get caught in moving parts.
• If dust extraction and collection units are installed, make sure that these are connected and properly used. Using such devices reduces hazards associa-ted with dust.

Power tool use and care

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. With the correct power tool you will do the job better and safer at the specified power rate.
• Do not use the power tool if it has a defective switch. A power tool, which cannot be turned on or off with the switch, is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Unplug the power cord from the outlet and/or re-move the battery before making any adjustments to the tool, changing accessories, or storing the power tool. Such preventive safety measures prevent star-ting the tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of children’s reach. Do not allow persons unfamiliar with the tool or these inst-ructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Keep the power tools in good condition. Check that moving parts are functioning smoothly and do not lock, whether parts are broken or for any other con-dition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are associated with poorly maintai-ned power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are like-ly to block less and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, the accessories, bits, etc. in ac-cordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of equipment. Take into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Using power tools for operations different from those intended can lead to hazardous situations.

Maintenance and Service

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair workshop using only original replacement parts. This will ensure that after repairs the safety of the power tool is maintained.
• Damaged cords must be replaced by our after-sales service.
• If a power plug is damaged, it must be replaced by a special spare plug provided by our after-sales ser-vice. If the supply cord of the tools is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord, which is availa-ble from the manufacturer or its after-sales service. The replacement of the connecting cord must be carried out by our after-sales service or by a quali-fied repair workshop.

Additional safety instructions for elec-trically operated mixing units

• Use the auxiliary handles that come with the tool. Losing control over the tool can result in personal injury.
• Grip the tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when carrying out any work where the tool may come in contact with hidden wiring or its own cord. A contact with a live wire can cause the metal parts of the tool to become live which poses the risk of electric shock.
• Always fasten the mixer element properly and secu-rely on the drive shaft; by all means, remove the ad-justment tool before operating the power tool.
• Under no circumstances should you mix explosive or flammable substances.
• When mixing, always wear the appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, ear protection, resistant gloves and a respirator.
• Do not use this tool to prepare food, as it cannot be cleaned in a way that would comply with relevant hy-giene regulations.

Operating the power tool

1. Thread the mixing paddle (1) clockwise into the mixing element (2). (Fig.2)
2. Drive the assembled mixing paddle onto the drive shaft (3). (Fig.3)

DANGER!
Use only a mixing paddle that is designed and sui-table for the material to be mixed. A wrong mixing paddle may put strain on the power tool which may damage the tool and lead to accidents!
Remove the mixing paddle from the drive shaft by tur-ning it anticlockwise. The paddle may sit quite tight in its holding fixture. If this is the case, the fixture must be secured with a key against turning with the paddle. (Fig.4)
Turning on and off
Turning on (Fig.1)
Press and hold the circuit breaker (5) for the ON / OFF switch; now you can press the ON / OFF switch (4) to start the handheld mixer. Once the tool is running pro-perly you can release the ON / OFF switch, turning off the circuit breaker (5).

Turning off (Fig.1)
Release the ON / OFF switch (4). The circuit breaker for the ON / OFF switch (5) turns off automatically. Speed controller ( Fig.5)
With the speed controller (6), the power tool’s speed can be gradually adjusted. The type of material to be mixed determines the speed rate that is required. Practice will teach you the optimal speed required by the respective material.
Cleaning and Maintenance

ATTENTION!
Unplug the power plug from the electrical outlet before starting any work on the power tool.
Cleaning

• Keep the air vents of the machine clean in order to prevent overheating.
• Clean the machine’s casing regularly with a soft cloth, preferably after each use.
• Keep the air vents free from dust and dirt.
• If the dirt cannot be removed easily, use a cloth that is moistened with soapy water.

ATTENTION!
Do not use solvents such as benzene, alcohol, am-monia solutions, etc. These solvents may damage the plastic parts.

Technical data

Sound emission
Noise emission values are measured according to the relevant standards.

Vibration a h| 5.67 m/s²
Uncertainty K| 1.5 m/s²

• The indicated vibration emission value has been measured using a standardized test procedure and can be used to compare one electric tool with ano-ther;
• The indicated vibration emission value can also be used in a preliminary exposure assessment.
• Depending on how the power tool is used, the vib-ration emission value may differ from the specified value when the power tool is actually used;
• Try to keep the exposure to vibrations as low as possible. Actions reducing the exposure to vibration include, for example, wearing gloves when the tool is used and limiting the working time. Here, all as-pects of the operating cycle must be considered (for example, the times when the tool is turned off, and those when the tool is turned on but running without load).

Storage

• The whole machine and all accessories must be tho-roughly cleaned.
• Store the machine always out of children’s reach. Put it in a secure position in a dry and safe place where no extremely high or extremely low tempera-tures may occur.
• Protect the stored machine from direct sunlight; put it in a darkened area, if feasible.
• Do not wrap the machine into bags or covers made of nylon or plastic, as dampness may develop.
