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.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving
parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
Use safety apparel and equipment. Use safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields which
comply with current national standards (ANSI Z87.1), or when needed, a face shield. Use as dust
mask in dusty work conditions. This applies to all persons in the work area. Also use non-skid
safety shoes, hardhat, gloves, dust collection systems, and hearing protection when appropriate.
Avoid accidental starting. Do not carry the power tool with your finger on the switch. Ensure the
switch is in the off position before plugging tool into power outlet. In the event of a power failure,
while a tool is being used, turn the switch off to prevent surprise starting when power is restored.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before connecting to the power supply or turning on the
tool. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not overload mixer.
Keep hands free from the drum when in operation.
Always operate mixer on an even surface.
Never start or stop the mixer with any material in the drum otherwise the motor will de damaged.
Never use a tool with a malfunctioning switch.Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired by an authorized service representative before using.
Disconnect the power from mixer and place the switch in the locked or off position before
servicing, adjusting, installing accessories or attachments, or storing. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Secure work with clamps or a vise instead of your hand to hold work when practical. This safety
precaution allows for proper tool operation using both hands.
Store idle tools. When tools are not is use, store them in a dry, secure place out of the reach of
children. Inspect tools for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.
Check mixer for wear and damage frequently.
It is recommended that the general condition of
any tool be examined before it is used. Keep your tools in good repair by adopting a program of
conscientious repair and maintenance in accordance with the recommended procedures found in
this manual. If any abnormal vibrations or noise occurs, turn the tool off immediately and have the
problem corrected before further use. Have necessary repairs made by qualified service
personnel.
Periodically grease all moving parts lightly.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease.
