Noise/vibration levels

Measured values determined in accordance with EN 60745. The A-weighted noise level of the machine is typically:

	Sound pressure level L_pA [dB(A)]	Sound power level L_WA [dB(A)]
Xo 55 duo	88 dB(a) 99 dB(A)
	Uncertainty K = 3 dB

Overall vibration level (for mixing of mineral materials)

	Emission level an [m/s2]
Xo 55 duo	1,3 m/s2
	Uncertainty K = 1,5 m/s2

WARNING:

The measured values which are provided apply to new machines. Noise and vibration levels change with day-to-day use.

NOTE

The vibration level given in these instructions was measured in accordance with a standardized method of measurement as defined in EN 60745 and can be used for the purposes of comparing electrical tools with each other. It is also suitable for a preliminary estimation of vibration strain. The vibration level which is given represents vibration level for the primary use of the electrical tool. If, however, the electrical tool is used for any other purposes, with different plug-in tools or with insufficient maintenance, the vibration level may vary. This can result in a significantly higher level of vibration strain over the work period as a whole.

For a precise estimation of the vibration strain the times when the machine is switched off have to be taken into account as well, as do the times when it is running but is not actually being used. This can result in a significantly reduced level of vibration strain over the work period as a whole.

Machine-specific safety instructions

WARNING: Read all notes and instruction safety. Failure to observe any of the and instructions on safety may result in an panic shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Make sure that you keep all notes and instructions on safety for future reference.

To be able to use the machine safely it is essential that you read the operating instructions and the safety instructions thoroughly and comply with all of them. The machine is to be used only by persons who have read the operating instructions and who are acquainted with the occupational safety and accident prevention regulations in force in your country.

In addition, you must also comply with the oral safety instructions also included with machine.

▶Take care to ensure that the mains power supply corresponds to the specifications on the rating plate.

▶Do not use the device in any environments with potentially explosive atmospheres. Do not mix any readily flammable solvents or solvent-containing substances with a flash point of below 21^ C/ 69^ F.

▶Take care to ensure that no liquid splashes against the motor housing and keep it away from the rain – risk of electric shock!

▶ Never clean the machine with water – risk of electric shock!

▶Do not wind cables or leads around any parts of your body.

▶Do not use the machine with a damaged cable. Do not touch the cable and pull out the power plug immediately. There is an increased risk of electric shock from damaged cables. If the mains power cable has to be replaced (because of damage or similar), ensure that it is replaced by the manufacturer or an authorized representative of the manufacturer (electrician) in order to avoid any risk to safety.

▶Always hold the machine firmly with both hands when carrying out your work and make sure you have a secure footing.

▶Hold the machine by the insulated grip surfaces, when performing an operation where the plug-in tool may contact hidden wiring or it's own cord. Plug-in tools contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"

and could give the operator an electric shock.

▶ Before starting up, check that the mixing rod is securely attached and rotates without a hitch.
▶ Start up and run down the machine in the mixing container only. Ensure that the mixing container is stood in a firm and secure position.
▶Do not reach into the mixing container with your hands or insert any other objects into it while mixing is in progress. Risk of crushing!
▶Wait until the machine or tool comes to a complete standstill. Rotating tools can snag and cause injuries or damage.
▶If the sound pressure level should exceed 85 dB (A) where you are working, use ear protection!
▶We recommend that you wear work gloves and protective goggles when using the mixer. Regulations require that you wear close-fitting clothing.
▶To protect yourself from harmful dust while mixing, wear a dust mask. Some mineral materials are deemed to be carcinogenic. Use a dust extractor wherever possible. To select suitable dust extraction systems or dust masks please refer to the information of the material manufacturer's.
▶ Always connect machines via a residual current device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.

Read and observe the operating instructions for the machine before you start it up!

Always wear protective goggles and ear protection while working.

It is advisable to wear a dust mask whenever working with materials which generate large amounts of dust.

Always wear protective gloves while working.

Wear safety shoes with steel caps during operation

Proper use

The machine is designed for mixing liquid, granular and powder-based building products such as paints, mortar, concrete, adhesives, plaster, mixes containing silica sand, thermosetting resin and similar substances. Use the right mixing tool for the consistency of the material and the quantity to be mixed.

Please refer to the information in the technical data when choosing the size of mixing tool (diameter/mixing action). If the wrong mixing action or mixing tool diameter is selected, this may cause the machine/gear unit to become overloaded and lead to damage as a result. Please remember that a mixing tool with a mixing action from the top down puts a greater strain on the electrical tool than one with the reverse mixing action.

Given the high torque levels generated by the machine, it must not be used as a power drill.

The machine must not be used for the preparation of foodstuffs.

The machine is not suitable for mixing materials containing graphite dust, brine or slurry. Mixing of these materials or substances may damage the machine beyond repair.

Assembly

▶ Always pull the power plug out of the socket outlet before carrying out any work on the machine.

Fitting the stirrer / tool change-over (Fig. A):

Insert the mixing tool with the HEXAFIX mount in the coupling until it locks. Make sure that the markings on the mixing attachments match those of the respective mixing shaft when you fit them (I + II). For trouble-free operation the markings must match up. In addition, the stirrers can only be fitted in certain positions. This is to ensure that they do not come into contact with each other.

To release or change the mixing tools, simply pull back the handle-collar on the coupling and this releases the mixing tool.

Switching the mixing tools over allows the mixing action to be reversed. This can be an advantage for liquid materials. Please note, however: This places greater strain on the drive unit. The supplied protective caps are designed to prevent the HEXAFIX coupling getting dirty and help contribute to trouble-free operation.

Operation

▶Check that the power supply shown on the rating plate is the same as the mains power supply.

Always hold the machine with both hands.

1. 2.

Press the starting lockout button (1).

Press the ON/OFF switch (2).

The more pressure you apply to the ON/OFF switch, the faster the machine will run. The ON/OFF switch cannot be locked!

Always work with the ON/OFF switch fully pressed.

To stop working, release the ON/OFF switch.

Always reduce the speed when submerging the mixing tool in the mixing material or lifting it out. Once the mixing tool is fully submerged, increase the speed again to ensure that the motor is adequately cooled.

During mixing you should guide the machine around the mixing container. Continue mixing until all of the mixing material is completely mixed. Please follow the processing instructions of the manufacturer of the material.

The greater the viscosity of the material, the greater the impact of the torque forces on the machine, so you should be prepared for this when you carry out your work.

If the mixing tool comes into contact with a surface (e.g. the bottom of the tub) while running, it may kick back.

Set the machine down resting on the guard handle after you have finished your mixing work.

Care and maintenance Content

▶Before you carry out any operations on the machine, and especially when changing the mixing tool, always pull out the power plug out first.

Clean the machine and the mixing tool immediately after use. We recommend that you use the Collomix MIXER CLEAN cleaning bucket for cleaning.

Fett Grease Graisse Smar

Keep the HEXAFIX coupling clean and freely moving at all times.

Take the mixing tool out of the coupling after you have finished your work.

Grease the hexagon mount of the coupling at regular

intervals with suitable grease.

Keep the ventilation slits clean and clear at all times so that the machine can be properly cooled. Blocked ventilation slits will lead to irreparable damage to the machine.

Make sure that the ON/OFF switch moves and releases smoothly at all times.

The machine is equipped with self-deactivating carbon brushes. This means that the machine will shut itself down once a certain level of wear is reached. The carbon brushes can be replaced by the authorized customer service center or by the Collomix Service center.

Have repairs carried out only by an approved workshop or by your Collomix Service.

Only use original Collomix accessories and replacement parts.
