Work instructions for mixing

Choosing the Mixer Paddle

Selection of the mixer paddle is dependent on the material that is to be mixed.

For materials with low viscosity, e.g. emulsion paint, varnishes, adhesive, grouting compound or cement slurry, use a mixer paddle with a left-hand spiral. The material is mixed from the top downwards in a mixer paddle with a left-hand spiral. The mixer paddle is pushed upwards. Materials with low viscosity are mixed in a way which minimises splashing.

For materials with high viscosity, e.g. ready-mixed plaster, concrete, cement, screed, filler or epoxy resin, use a mixer paddle with right-hand spiral. The material is moved from the bottom upwards in a mixer paddle with a right-hand spiral. The mixer paddle works its way into the mixture. Materials with high viscosity are mixed thoroughly.

Move the power tool up and down when working. Clean the mixer paddle after use.
