Frequently Asked Questions - MXE 1200 Flex

What kind of materials can I mix with the Flex MXE 1200?

This stirrer is designed for mixing high-viscosity liquid materials such as paints, varnishes, glues, plasters, mortars, resins, and fillers. It must not be used for foodstuffs.

How do I change the rotational speed?

First stop the motor. Then press the lock (lock button) and turn the speed selector switch to the desired level (I or II) and position (1,2,3). Never change the motor speed while it is running.

What to do if the stirrer does not start?

Stop the device, manually turn the mixer about 45° and try again. If the problem persists, check the power supply and cable. Never disconnect the damaged cable from the plug.

How to clean the mixer after use?

Clean the mixer immediately after use to prevent the mixture from drying. Use water or a suitable solvent depending on the product. Also clean the ventilation slots with compressed air.

Can I use the device without a residual current device?

It is imperative to use the device with a residual current device if you work outdoors, to protect yourself against the risk of electric shock.

How to install or change the mixer (auger)?

First disconnect the device. For models without end stop: screw the mixer onto the drive spindle by blocking it with a 19 mm open-end wrench and tightening the mixer with a 22 mm open-end wrench. For models with end stop, first set the speed selector to the end stop before mounting the mixer.

What does overload protection mean?

In case of extreme and brief overload, a protection device automatically stops the motor to prevent damage. Let it cool for a few moments before restarting.

Is it possible to use the stirrer continuously?

Yes, the device has a continuous operation mode with locking. To activate it, press the lock-off button then the switch, hold the lock button, release the switch, then release the lock-off button. To stop, briefly press the switch.

Where can I find spare parts and accessories?

Consult the Flex catalog or visit www.flex-tools.com for exploded views and spare parts lists. Repairs must be carried out by an authorized service center.

How to dispose of the device at end of life?

Do not dispose of the device with household waste. According to the WEEE directive, it must be collected separately and recycled in an environmentally friendly manner. Take it to an appropriate collection point.

Important safety information

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

The mixer is designed

– for commercial use in industry and trade,

– with mixer paddle of appropriate size and shape,

– for commercial use in industry and trade, – with mixer paddle of appropriate size and shape,

– for mixing liquids of low viscosity such as paint, varnish, adhesive, light plaster, resin,

– for mixing material of high viscosity such as plaster, mortar, lime, screed, filler etc.,

– for mixing stiff and sticky material of high viscosity such as adhesive, resin, sealing and insulating compound etc.,

- for mixing liquids of low viscosity such as paint, varnish, adhesive, light plaster, resin, - for mixing material of high viscosity such as plaster, mortar, lime, screed, filler etc., - for mixing stiff and sticky material of high viscosity such as adhesive, resin, sealing and insulating compound etc.,

Safety instructions

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.

WARNING!

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

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.

CAUTION!

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