How to use

Before use, inspect the stirrer and ensure all parts are securely fitted. Place the mixing paddle into a suitable container, add the dry material followed by the recommended amount of water, then start the stirrer at a low speed to avoid splashing. Gradually increase speed if required to reach a homogeneous consistency. Keep both hands on the tool during operation and avoid forcing the stirrer into overly compacted material. After mixing, allow the motor to run briefly to clear the paddle of residual material, then switch off and clean the paddle and housing according to safety instructions.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves, eye protection and a dust mask when handling dry materials. Choose the correct bucket size and mixing paddle for the volume and type of material. Avoid prolonged continuous operation without breaks to prevent overheating; follow the manufacturer's guidance on duty cycles if available. Store the unit in a dry place and clean thoroughly after each use to maintain performance.
