4. Operating Instructions
Proper operation ensures efficient mixing and extends the life of your tool.
4.1. Material Preparation
- Prepare your mixing material (mortar, paint, plaster, etc.) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Use a sturdy mixing bucket or container appropriate for the volume and type of material.
4.2. Mixing Procedure
- Select Speed: The mixer has two mechanical speeds. Use the lower speed (0-480 RPM) for thicker, heavier materials like mortar or concrete, and the higher speed (0-800 RPM) for lighter materials like paint or plaster. Adjust the electronic speed regulator for fine-tuning.
- Start Mixing: Immerse the mixing paddle into the material before turning on the mixer to prevent splashing.
- Engage Power: Press the power switch to start the mixer.
- Mix Evenly: Move the mixer slowly through the material, ensuring all parts are thoroughly mixed. Avoid hitting the sides or bottom of the mixing container forcefully.
- Stop Mixing: Once the desired consistency is achieved, release the power switch. Wait for the paddle to stop rotating completely before removing it from the material.
5. Maintenance and Storage
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your tool.
- Cleaning: After each use, immediately clean the mixing paddle and extension rod to prevent material from hardening. Use water for water-based materials and appropriate solvents for oil-based materials. Do not immerse the main mixer unit in water. Wipe the main unit with a damp cloth.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the power cord for any damage. Check the mixing paddle and extension rod for wear or bending.
- Storage: Store the mixer in a dry, secure place, out of reach of children. Disassemble the paddle and extension rod for compact storage if desired.
- Lubrication: This tool typically does not require user lubrication. Refer to a qualified service center for any internal maintenance.
