Do not use the cement mixer if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS

Make sure there is adequate surrounding workspace. Keep your work area clean and well lighted.
Cluttered areas invite injuries. Keep area around the mixer clear of obstructions, grease, oil, trash and
other debris which could cause persons fall onto moving parts. Only use or operate the mixer on solid,
flat, level ground that is capable to support the weight of the mixer and its load to prevent the mixer
from tipping over. Do not attempt to move the mixer when it is loaded and/or in operation. This mixer is
intended for the production of concrete, mortar and plaster. It is not suitable for the mixing of flammable
or explosive substances. Do not use it in areas where fumes from paint, solvents or flammable liquids
pose a potential hazard.

INSPECT YOUR MIXER

Check your mixer before turning it on. Keep guards in place and in working order. Do not plug mixer
with motor cover off. Check all bolts, nuts, and screws for tightness before each use, especially those
securing guards and drive mechanisms. Vibration during mixing may cause these to loosen. Replace
damaged, missing or failed parts before using it.

Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry (rings, wrist watches): They can be caught in
moving parts. Protective electrically non-conductive gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended
when working. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair, preventing it from getting caught in
machinery. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty. Always wear safety goggles and/or face
shields. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses.

Safety glasses and ear protection must be worn during operation. Wear eye protection (see ANSI
Z49.1 safety standard), non-conductive gloves and non-skid footwear.

DO NOT ABUSE CORD

Never carry mixer by cord or yank it to disconnect from socket. Keep cord from heat, oil & sharp edges.

EXTENSION CORDS

Extension cords must be no longer than 164 feet in length. The wire section must be big enough to
allow sufficient current flow to the motor. Improper use of extension cords may cause inefficient
operation of the mixer which can result in overheating and motor damage. Only extension cords to
H07RN-F specification intended for outdoor purpose may be used. Avoid use of free and inadequately
insulated connections. Connections must be made with protected material suitable for outdoor use.
Make sure that any extension cord connections are dry and safe. Ensure that the extension cord is
carefully laid out avoiding liquids, sharp edges and places where vehicles might run over it. Avoid
allowing the extension cord to be trapped underneath the mixer. Unroll it fully or it will overheat and
could catch fire.

AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Check that the electric circuit is adequately protected and that it corresponds with the power, voltage
and frequency of the motor. Do not plug or unplug the motor while standing in or around damp or wet
ground. Do not use the mixer in wet or damp areas or expose it to rain. Prevent body contact with
grounded surfaces: pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures. Make sure your fingers do not
touch the plug's metal prongs when plugging or unplugging the mixer.

DO NOT OVERREACH

Keep proper footing and balance at all times when loading or unloading the mixer. Never stand on
mixer. Serious injury could occur if the mixer is tipped. Do not store anything above or near the mixer
where anyone might stand on the mixer to reach them.
