SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Each operator should read all instruction before using this device.

The stirrer must be securely xed to a stable support such as the

provided stand. If other stands are used, the unit must be secured such
that it will not fall if tipped.

CAUTION: This is not an explosion-proof stirrer. Do not use in a highly

ammable or explosive environment.

Spinning paddles or impellers can cause severe personal injuries.
Operators must use extreme care and good judgment when mixing at
any speed.

All mixing paddles and impellers must be in good condition with straight
shafts. If the stirrer vibrates at high speeds, check the paddle shaft for
damage, and repair or replace if needed.

Extreme care must be taken when mixing chemicals to ensure that no
chemicals are splashed outside the mixing vessel. Care must be taken
when changing to faster mixing speeds.

Ensure that the mixing impeller does not contact the containment vessel.
Do not operate while standing in water. Keep the unit dry and do not

immerse any part, except the mixing paddle into any liquids. Protect unit
and operator from splashing.

3

Ensure that no loose clothing, jewelry, or hair can become entangled in
any rotating parts. A fast spinning chuck can cause injury to operator.

Power can be interrupted to the stirrer by pressing the power button. In
an emergency, disconnect the main power cord.
