SAFETY INFORMATION
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.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
Specific Safety Rules
1. Know your power tool. Read operator's manual carefully. Learn its applications and
limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
2. Use the mixing paddle up to the specified diameter.
3. Check that the voltage and frequency of the tool shown on the data plate match the
electric system.
4. When in use, always hold the grip firmly with both hands and provide for a secure
stance. Consider possible reaction torque. Secure the vessel with the mixed substance
against moving on the floor.
5. This tool will provide better, safer performance if used only for the task for which it
has been designed.
6. Do not use this tool for purpose other than those described in the instructions for
use.
7. Always wear gloves, safety glasses and dust mask. Use only in well ventilated area.
Using personal safety devices and working in safe environment reduces risk of injury.
8. Always disconnect the power cord from the power source before making any
adjustments or attaching any accessories. You may unexpectedly cause the tool to start
leading to serious personal injury.
9. Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have repaired at your nearest
Authorized Service Center. Constantly stay aware of cord location. Following this rule
will reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
10. Be aware of the switch location, when placing the tool down or when picking the tool
up. You may accidentally activate the switch.
11. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect
its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorized service center. Following this rule will reduce the risk of shock,
fire, or serious injury.
12. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord,
be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. A wire
gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or
less in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recommended. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. An under-
sized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
