b) 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.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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.
d) 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.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) 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 dierent
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) 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.
5) SERVICE
a) 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.

USE
• On/o 6
• Switch locking for continuous use 7
! be aware of the forces that occur as a result of
jamming; hold the tool firmly with both hands and
take a secure stance
• Maximum speed control 8
With wheel C the maximum speed can be adjusted from
low to high (1-8+MAX)
- switch on the tool
- lock the switch
- turn wheel C to select maximum speed
• Mechanical gear selection 9
- set selector D to desired speed
! actuate the gear selector only when tool is
switched off
1 = LOW SPEED
- high torque
- for mixing high-density substances
2 = HIGH SPEED
- lower torque
- for mixing liquid substances
• Protection frame 0(1640)
- for protecting the tool
- for guiding the tool
- for putting aside the tool in a simple way
- mount protection frame E before using the tool for the
rst time
• Operating the tool
! ensure that the tool is switched off
- mount mixing paddle G onto spindle F as illustrated !
- connect plug to power source
- ensure the mixing container is securely positioned on
the oor
- dip the mixing paddle into the substance to be mixed
- set wheel C 2in position “1”
- switch on the tool
- gradually increase the mixing speed by turning wheel
C 2to the desired maximum speed (so that the
substance will not splash around)
! switch the tool off only when the mixing paddle is
in the mixing container
• Electronic soft-start
Ensures reaching the maximum speed smoothly without
a sudden impact when tool is switched on
• Electronic constant speed
Keeps the speed at a constant level as the load increases
• Electronic overload protection
- reduces the mixing speed automatically in case the
tool is overloaded for a longer period of time
- release switch A 2 briey for returning to normal
working speed
