Safety instructions

Take note of the following instructions to protect yourself and others from hazards and injuries.

• Observe local accident prevention and safety regulations in the work area.
• Do not touch, inhale (dust formation) or swallow cement or additional materials. Wear personal protective clothing (gloves, protective glasses, dust mask) when filling or emptying the mixing drum.

• Replace defective or damaged parts on the machine immediately.
• Only start up the mixer if the protective devices are complete and undamaged.
• Fill or empty the mixing drum only when the motor is running.
• Do not alter the revolution speed of the motor, since this controls the safe maximum operating speed, and protects the motor and all rotating parts against damage due to excess speed.
• Be absolutely sure to pull the plug before:
  • moving or transport
  • cleaning, maintenance or repair work
  • eliminating faults
  • checking connecting lines, whether these are knotted or damaged
    leaving unattended (even during short interruptions)
• Check the machine for possible damage:
  • Before further use of the machine the safety devices must be checked carefully for their proper and intended function.
  • Check whether movable parts function perfectly and do not stick or whether parts are damaged. All parts must be correctly installed and fulfil all conditions to ensure perfect operation of the machine.
  • Damaged safety devices and parts must be properly repaired or exchanged by a recognized, specialist workshop; insofar as nothing else is stated in the instructions for use.
  • Damaged or illegible safety labels have to be replaced.
• Store unused equipment in a dry, locked place out of the reach of children.

Mixers that are not shockproof (Protection Class I) 

• Do not connect up to household sockets.
• Only connect up by means of a special supply point (for example, a building site main cabinet with a fault-current circuit breaker 30 mA release current).

Electrical safety
Danger to life and limb if not observed!

• Design of the connection cable according to IEC 60245 (H 07 RN-F) with a core cross-profile section of at least
  • 3 x 1.5 mm2 for cable lengths up to 25m
  • 3 x 2.5 mm2 for cable lengths over 25m
• Use only connecting attachments with a rubber plug device for severe requirements that is protected against  spraying water.
• Long and thin connection lines result in a potential drop. The motor does not reach any longer its maximal power; the function of the device is reduced.
• Unwind the cable completely when using a cable drum.
• Do not use the power cords for purposes they are not intended for. Protect the cable against heat, oil and sharp edges. Do jerk on the power cable when pulling the plug from the socket.
• Check connecting attachments for defects or ageing before using them.
• Never use defective connecting attachments.
• When laying the connecting attachments, be sure that they do get crushed or bent, and that the plug-and-socket connection does not get wet.
• Do not use any provisional electrical connections.
• Never bridge over protective devices or put them out of operation.
• Only hook up the machine by means of a fault-current circuit breaker: 30 mA!

A licensed professional electrician must make all electrical connections and repairs, and observe local regulations in doing so, especially those regarding protective measures.
The manufacturer or a company designated by the manufacturer must attend to the repair of all electrical parts on the machine.
Use only original spare. Accidents can arise for the user through the use of other spare parts. The manufacturer is not liable for any damage or injury resulting from such action.

Start-up

Observe all safety instructions.

Setting up the machine:

• Set up the machine on a solid, level base.
• Keep the machine from sinking into the ground or floor.
  
  Adhere to accident prevention regulations (danger of tipping).
• When setting up the machine, make sure that the mixing drum can be emptied without obstruction.

Switching on and off
Be sure that

• all protective devices are on the mixer and properly mounted.
• all safety instructions are adhered to.
• Switch the motor on and off only at the switch.
• In the event of a power failure, the machine will switch off automatically. Press the switch again to restart the machine.

Motor protection
The motor is equipped with a thermostat. The thermostat switches the motor off automatically in the event of overload (overheating). The machine can be restarted after a cooling-off period.

Mixing 

• Only use mixer for applications listed under ”Correct use“.
• Check the stability of the mixer.
• Only fill or empty the mixing drum while the motor is running.
• Observe the nominal filling volume!
• An electrical safety shutdown prevents the mixer operating while the safety grid is open. Check functionality of safety shutdown before commissioning.

Mixture production: 

1. Close safety grid.
2. Switch on mixer.
3. Fill with water and aggregate (sand, …).
4. Add binding agent (cement, lime, …).
5. Repeat points 3 and 4 until required mixture ratio has been achieved.
6. Blend mixture well.

Have a professional advise you regarding the composition and quality of the material being mixed.

Prepared (commercially available) mixture production:
Observe mixing ratio and details given by manufacturer on packaging.

1. Close safety grid.
2. Switch on mixer.
3. Fill with required volume of water.
4. There is a sack opener on the safety grid which is used to tear open the packed mixture and filling the drum.
5. Blend mixture well.

Emptying the mixing drum:
The drum is emptied through an opening in the base which is opened by actuating a lever.

Transport
Pull plug each time before transport.

Assembling

Storage
The mixer should be cleaned thoroughly before long storage periods and moving parts treated with an environmentally-friendly spray oil. This lengthens the useful life of a mixer and ensures smooth operation of the device.

Cleaning

Additional safety instructions

Pull plug each time before cleaning.

• Switch off machine and pull plug if you have to touch the machine (with hand, brush, scraper, rag, etc.) while cleaning it.
• Protective devices removed for cleaning must be properly remounted before starting the machine.
• Do not spray the motor and switch directly with a water jet.
• Remove agitator head to clean .
  Only clean the drive shaft using a dry cloth or brush. Do not use water or solvents.

Notes on cleaning:

• Before taking a break and after finishing work, clean the mixer inside and out.
• Do not beat on the mixing drum with hard objects (hammer, shovel, etc.). A dented mixing drum impairs mixing operations and is difficult to clean, besides.

Maintenance

The mixer requires practically no maintenance.
The mixing drum and drive shaft are bedded on ball bearings with permanent lubrication.
To preserve the value of the mixer and increase its service life, handle it as described in “storage and cleaning “. Furthermore, the mixer should be checked regularly for signs of wear and tear or functional deficiencies. This applies especially to moving parts, screw connections, protective devices and electrical parts.

Repair

Pull plug each time before doing repair work.

• Switch off machine and pull plug if repair work should be necessary. Do not start machine during repair work.
• Protective devices removed for repairs must be properly remounted before starting the machine.
• Only the manufacturer or companies authorized by the manufacturer may perform repair work on electrical parts or on parts which affect the space needed to mount electrical equipment.
• Use only unaltered original spare parts. Otherwise, the manufacturer will assume no liability.
