Work instructions for mixing
- Avoid splashing the material. Otherwise you could slip and lose control of the power tool.
- Avoid continuously operating the power tool at reduced speed. Otherwise the motor of the power tool could overheat.
- Store the power tool in a safe place. Ensure that it cannot fall over. The power tool may become damaged if this happens.
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.
