Product Overview
This image displays the Extol Premium 1600W two-speed mixer. The main body of the mixer is red with a silver gear housing, featuring two large handles for ergonomic grip. A long, silver mixing paddle extends from the front of the mixer, ending in a spiral-shaped mixing head designed for thoroughly blending building materials.
The Extol Premium 1600W mixer is designed for efficiently blending various building mixtures. It features a robust motor, a two-speed gearbox for versatile application, and ergonomic handles for comfortable operation. The mixer is equipped with special protection against overload and maintains constant speeds during loading, ensuring consistent performance.
Setup and Assembly
Before first use, ensure all components are present and undamaged.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove the mixer body and mixing paddle from the packaging.
- Attach Mixing Paddle: Align the threaded end of the mixing paddle with the spindle on the mixer's gear housing. Rotate the paddle clockwise to securely fasten it. Ensure it is tightened firmly to prevent loosening during operation.
- Inspect Connections: Verify that all connections are secure and that the paddle rotates freely without obstruction.
- Power Connection: Connect the mixer's power cord to a suitable power outlet. Ensure the power supply matches the specifications listed on the mixer's rating plate.
Operating Instructions
Follow these guidelines for effective and safe operation of your mixer.
Powering On/Off
- To turn the mixer ON, press the power switch.
- To turn the mixer OFF, release the power switch. Some models may have a lock-on button for continuous operation; press the switch again to release the lock.
Speed Control
The mixer features a two-speed design for optimal mixing of various materials.
- Speed Setting 1 (Low Speed): Suitable for mixing thicker, heavier materials like concrete, mortar, or tile adhesive. Use this setting to prevent splashing and to achieve thorough blending.
- Speed Setting 2 (High Speed): Ideal for mixing lighter, less viscous materials such as paint, plaster, or self-leveling compounds. This setting provides faster mixing.
- Adjust the speed using the speed selector switch located on the mixer body. Always change speeds when the mixer is off or at a very low RPM to prevent damage to the gearbox.
Mixing Techniques
- Always place the mixing paddle into the material before starting the mixer to prevent splashing.
- Hold the mixer firmly with both hands using the ergonomic handles.
- Move the mixing paddle slowly through the material, ensuring all parts of the mixture are thoroughly blended.
- Avoid hitting the sides or bottom of the mixing container with the paddle.
- Do not overload the mixer. If the motor struggles or slows significantly, reduce the amount of material or switch to a lower speed setting. The mixer has overload protection, but continuous overloading can reduce its lifespan.
- Lift the paddle out of the material only after the mixer has been switched off.
Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your mixer.
- Cleaning: After each use, disconnect the mixer from the power supply. Clean the mixing paddle and the mixer body immediately to prevent material from hardening. Use a damp cloth for the mixer body and a brush or scraper for the paddle. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the mixer in a dry, secure location, out of reach of children. Protect it from dust and moisture.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the power cord for cuts, fraying, or other damage. Check the mixing paddle for bends or wear. Ensure all screws and fasteners are tight.
- Lubrication: The gearbox is factory-lubricated and generally does not require user maintenance. If you notice unusual noises or performance issues, consult a qualified service technician.
