• When operating a power tool outdoors, use only
extension cords that are approved for outdoor use.
The use of an extension cord that is adapted for out-
door use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If working with the power tool in a damp location
cannot be avoided, use a ground fault circuit inter-
rupter. The use of a ground fault circuit interrupter
reduces the risk of electric shock. Always check
whether the mains voltage complies with the voltage
specified on the nameplate of the power tool.
Personal safety
• Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use
the power tool while you are tired or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear sa-
fety glasses. Safety equipment such as a dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat or ear protection
depending on the type and use of the power tool will
reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure that the po-
wer tool is switched off before connecting it to the
power supply and/or battery, picking it up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on
the switch or energizing power tools that have the
switch on invite accidents.
• Remove any adjusting tool or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key which has be-
en left attached to a rotating part may induce per-
sonal injury. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables you to better
control the power tool in situations which cannot be
foreseen.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-
lery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
may get caught in moving parts.
• If dust extraction and collection units are installed,
make sure that these are connected and properly
used. Using such devices reduces hazards associa-
ted with dust.
Power tool use and care
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. With the correct power tool
you will do the job better and safer at the specified
power rate.
• Do not use the power tool if it has a defective switch.
A power tool, which cannot be turned on or off with
the switch, is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Unplug the power cord from the outlet and/or re-
move the battery before making any adjustments to
the tool, changing accessories, or storing the power
tool. Such preventive safety measures prevent star-
ting the tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of children's reach. Do not
allow persons unfamiliar with the tool or these inst-
ructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Keep the power tools in good condition. Check that
moving parts are functioning smoothly and do not
lock, whether parts are broken or for any other con-
dition that may affect the power tool's operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are associated with poorly maintai-
ned power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are like-
ly to block less and are easier to control.

• Use the power tool, the accessories, bits, etc. in ac-
cordance with these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of equipment. Take
into account the working conditions and the work
to be performed. Using power tools for operations
different from those intended can lead to hazardous
situations.
Maintenance and Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
workshop using only original replacement parts. This
will ensure that after repairs the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
• Damaged cords must be replaced by our after-sales
service.
• If a power plug is damaged, it must be replaced by
a special spare plug provided by our after-sales ser-
vice. If the supply cord of the tools is damaged, it
must be replaced by a special cord, which is availa-
ble from the manufacturer or its after-sales service.
The replacement of the connecting cord must be
carried out by our after-sales service or by a quali-
fied repair workshop.
Additional safety instructions for elec-
trically operated mixing units
• Use the auxiliary handles that come with the tool.
Losing control over the tool can result in personal
injury.
• Grip the tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when
carrying out any work where the tool may come in
contact with hidden wiring or its own cord. A contact
with a live wire can cause the metal parts of the
tool to become live which poses the risk of electric
shock.
• Always fasten the mixer element properly and secu-
rely on the drive shaft; by all means, remove the ad-
justment tool before operating the power tool.
• Under no circumstances should you mix explosive
or flammable substances.
• When mixing, always wear the appropriate personal
protective equipment such as safety glasses, ear
protection, resistant gloves and a respirator.
• Do not use this tool to prepare food, as it cannot be
cleaned in a way that would comply with relevant hy-
giene regulations.
Operating the power tool
1) Thread the mixing paddle (1) clockwise into the mi-
xing element (2). (Fig.2)
2) Drive the assembled mixing paddle onto the drive
shaft (3). (Fig.3)
DANGER!
Use only a mixing paddle that is designed and sui-
table for the material to be mixed. A wrong mixing
paddle may put strain on the power tool which may
damage the tool and lead to accidents!
Remove the mixing paddle from the drive shaft by tur-
ning it anticlockwise. The paddle may sit quite tight in
its holding fixture. If this is the case, the fixture must
be secured with a key against turning with the paddle.

Turning on and off
Turning on (Fig.1)
Press and hold the circuit breaker (5) for the ON / OFF
switch; now you can press the ON / OFF switch (4) to
start the handheld mixer. Once the tool is running pro-
perly you can release the ON / OFF switch, turning off
the circuit breaker (5).
