intended use'). Be observant. Attend to what you do. Start working with rationality. Do not use the device when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medicaments. One moment of carelessness when using the device can result in serious injuries. Mixers that are not shockproof (Protection Class I)

Do not connect up to household sockets.

Only connect up by means of a special supply point (for example, a building site main cabinet with a fault-current circuit breaker 30 mA release current). Electrical safety Danger to life and limb if not observed!

Design of the connection cable according to IEC 60245 (H 07 RN-F) with a core cross-profile section of at least < 3 x 1.5 mm2 for cable lengths up to 25m < 3 x 2.5 mm2 for cable lengths over 25m

Use only connecting attachments with a rubber plug device for severe requirements that is protected against spraying water. Check connecting attachments for defects or ageing before using them.

• Never use defective connecting attachments.

When laying the connecting attachments, be sure that they do get crushed or bent, and that the plug-and-socket connection does not get wet. Do not use any temporary electrical connections. Never bridge over protective devices or put them out of operation. Only connect with residual current circuit breaker (30 mA). A licensed professional electrician must make all electrical connections and repairs, and observe local regulations in doing so, especially those regarding protective measures. The manufacturer or a company designated by the manufacturer must attend to the repair of all electrical parts on the machine. Start-up Observe all safety instructions. Setting up the machine:

Set up the machine on a solid, level base.

Keep the machine from sinking into the ground or floor. Adhere to accident prevention regulations (danger of tipping). When setting up the machine, make sure that the mixing drum can be emptied without obstruction.
