How to connect the cables to the switch of the Flex MXE 1602?
Frequently Asked Questions - 29/06/2026
Response Notice-Facile

The Flex MXE 1602 comes with a 4.0-meter power cable with a ready-to-use plug. You do not need to make any manual cable connections to the switch.

To use the speed selection switch:

  • The device has a two-speed selector with an anti-engagement mechanism
  • Press the lock button and turn the selector clockwise to reach the desired speed level
  • Never change speed while the motor is running
  • Speed I: high torque mode
  • Speed II: high speed mode

If you need to connect the device to a fixed workstation or if you encounter a power issue, ensure that the cable is not damaged and that the wall socket provides a nominal 230V (check the device's nameplate).

What is the purpose of the speed/operation mode selector dial on the Flex MXE 1602?
Frequently Asked Questions - 24/06/2026
Response Notice-Facile

The Flex MXE 1602 has two selection switches (sometimes referred to as dials):

  • Operation mode selector (no. 10): Allows you to choose between two operating modes.
  • Speed selector (no. 11): Allows you to switch between 2 positions: Position I (high torque, for thick materials like mortars or coatings) and Position II (high speed, for low-viscosity liquids like paints and varnishes).

These selectors allow you to adapt the mixer to the type of material being processed. Important: Never change these settings while the mixer is operating - the device must be completely stopped before any adjustments.

WARNING!

Read all safety instructions and general instructions.

Failure to comply with the safety instructions and general instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injuries. Keep all safety instructions and general instructions in a safe place for future reference.

Before using the power tool, please read the following and act accordingly:

– these operating instructions,
– the "General safety instructions" on the handling of power tools in the enclosed booklet (leaflet no.: 315.915),
- the currently valid site rules and the regulations for the prevention of accidents.

This power tool is state of the art and has been constructed in accordance with the acknowledged safety regulations.

Nevertheless, when in use, the power tool may be a danger to life and limb of the user or a third party, or the power tool or other property may be damaged. The power tool may be operated only if it is

- for its intended use,

– in perfect working order.

Faults which compromise safety must be repaired immediately.

Intended use

Safety instructions

Flex MXE 1602 - Safety instructions - 1

WARNING!

Read all safety instructions and general instructions.

Failure to comply with the safety instructions and general instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injuries. Keep all safety instructions and general instructions in a safe place for future reference.

■ Do not process explosive materials (e.g. highly inflammable solvents). Power tools generate sparks that could ignite the vapour given off.
■ Pull out the plug immediately and have the power tool checked by customer service if it falls into the stirred product. Should stirred product makes its way into the electric appliance, damage could ensue and cause an electric shock.
■ When working, hold the power tool firmly with both hands and ensure that you have a secure footing. The power tool is controlled more securely if held with both hands.
■ Do not process any material containing asbestos. Asbestos is carcinogenic.
■ Take protective measures if dust is likely to be generated during work that is hazardous to health, combustible or explosive. For example: some dusts are carcinogenic. Wear a protective mask and use a dust/particle extraction system if one can be fitted.
■ Wait until the power tool has come to a stop before putting it down. The cutting accessory may snag, causing the operator to lose control of the power tool.
- Do not use the power tool if it has a damaged power cord. Do not touch the damaged power cord and pull out the mains plug if the power cord is damaged during work. Damaged power cords increase the risk of an electric shock.
If power tools are to be used outside, connect them to a residual current breaker.

Noise and vibration

Values for the A-weighted sound pressure level and for the total vibration values can be found in the table on page 5. The noise and vibration values have been determined in accordance with EN 62841.

Flex MXE 1602 - Noise and vibration - 1

WARNING!

The indicated measurements refer to new power tools. Daily use causes the noise and vibration values to change.

Flex MXE 1602 - WARNING! - 1

NOTE!

The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 62841 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.

The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.

To make an accurate estimation of the vibration exposure level, it is also necessary to take into account the times when the tool is switched off or running but not actually in use. This may significantly decrease the exposure level over the total working period.

Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.

Flex MXE 1602 - NOTE! - 1

CAUTION!

Wear ear defenders at a sound pressure above 85 dB(A).
