Work area safety1.
Keep work area clean and well lit. a.
Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
Do not operate the Mortar Mixer in b.
explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of ammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
Keep children and bystanders c.
away while operating the Mortar
Mixer. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
Electrical safety2.
Power tool plugs must match the a.
outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with grounded power tools.
Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with grounded b.
surfaces such as pipes, radiators,

ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.
Do not expose the Mortar Mixer to c.
rain. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the Power Cord (6). d.
Never use the Cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the Mortar
Mixer. Keep the Cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
tached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper e.
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
Mortar Mixer in unexpected situa-
tions.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose f.
clothing or jewelry. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
Personal safety3.
Stay alert, watch what you are do-a.
ing and use common sense when
operating the Mortar Mixer. Do
not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the inuence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
Use personal protective equip-b.
ment. Always wear ANSI-approved
safety goggles. Safety equipment
such as NIOSH-approved dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. En-c.
sure the Power Switch (1) is in the
“OFF” position before connecting
to the power source, picking up or
carrying the tool. Carrying power
tools with your nger on the Switch or
energizing power tools that have the
Switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or d.
wrench before turning the Mortar
Mixer on. A wrench or a key left at-
If devices are provided for the con-g.
nection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use
of these devices can reduce dust-re-
lated hazards.
Power tool use and care4.
Do not force the Mortar Mixer. Use a.
the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
Do not use the Mortar Mixer if the b.
Power Switch (1) does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that can-
not be controlled with the Switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the Power Cord (6) c.
from its electrical outlet before
making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the Mortar
Mixer. Such preventive safety mea-
sures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the d.
reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
Mortar Mixer or these instructions
to operate the power tool. Power

Maintain the Mortar Mixer. Check e.
for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may
affect the power tool’s operation.
If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many ac-
cidents are caused by poorly main-
tained power tools.
Use the Mortar Mixer and its ac-f.
cessories in accordance with
these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of
the Mortar Mixer for operations different from those intended could result

Vibration Safety
Some dust created by power sand-13.
ing, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities,
contains chemicals known [to the
State of California] to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and ce-
ment or other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do
this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in
a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially
designed to lter out microscopic
particles. (California Health & Safety
Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
WARNING: Handling the Power 14.
Cord (6) on this product will expose you to lead, a chemical
known to the State of California
to cause cancer, and birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Wash
hands after handling. (California
Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et
seq.)

This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to
vibration may cause temporary or
permanent physical injury, particularly
to the hands, arms and shoulders. To
reduce the risk of vibration-related
injury:
Anyone using vibrating tools regu-1.
larly or for an extended period should
rst be examined by a doctor and
then have regular medical checkups to ensure medical problems are
not being caused or worsened from
use. Pregnant women or people
who have impaired blood circulation
to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or
Raynaud’s Disease should not use
this tool. If you feel any medical or
physical symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and
white or blue ngers), seek medical
advice as soon as possible.
Do not smoke during use. Nico-2.
tine reduces the blood supply to the
hands and ngers, increasing the risk
of vibration-related injury.
Wear suitable gloves to reduce the 3.
vibration effects on the user.
Use tools with the lowest vibration 4.
when there is a choice between different processes.
Include vibration-free periods each 5.
day of work.
