• Replace defective or damaged parts on the machine immediately.

• Only start up the mixer if the protective devices are complete and undamaged.

• Fill or empty the mixing drum only when the motor is running.

• Do not alter the revolution speed of the motor, since this controls the safe maximum operating speed, and protects the motor and all rotating parts against damage due to excess speed.

• Be absolutely sure to pull the plug before: − moving or transport − cleaning, maintenance or repair work − eliminating faults12 − checking connecting lines, whether these are knotted or damaged − leaving unattended (even during short interruptions)

• Check the machine for possible damage: − Before further use of the machine the safety devices must be checked carefully for their proper and intended function. − Check whether movable parts function perfectly and do not stick or whether parts are damaged. All parts must be correctly installed and fulfil all conditions to ensure perfect operation of the machine. − Damaged safety devices and parts must be properly repaired or exchanged by a recognized, specialist workshop; insofar as nothing else is stated in the instructions for use. − Damaged or illegible safety labels have to be replaced.

• Store unused equipment in a dry, locked place out of the reach of children. 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 mm

for cable lengths up to 25m 3 x 2.5 mm

for cable lengths over 25m

• Use only connecting attachments with a rubber plug device for severe requirements that is protected against spraying water.

• Long and thin connection lines result in a potential drop. The motor does not reach any longer its maximal power; the function of the device is reduced.

• Unwind the cable completely when using a cable drum.

• Do not use the power cords for purposes they are not intended for. Protect the cable against heat, oil and sharp edges. Do jerk on the power cable when pulling the plug from the socket.

• 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 provisional electrical connections.

• Never bridge over protective devices or put them out of operation.

• Only hook up the machine by means of a fault-current circuit breacker: 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. Use only original spare. Accidents can arise for the user through the use of other spare parts. The manufacturer is not liable for any damage or injury resulting from such action. Start-up Observe all safety instructions. Setting up the machine:

• Set up the machine on a solid, level base.
