can become extremely hot during use.

When working with the dispersing unit, the user must select and
wear his personal protective equipment according to the mixing
hazard category. Defective or inappropriate protective equip-
ment can expose the user to the risk of splashing or getting
caught in the dispersing tool.
• Protect the dispersing element from any impact.
• Even small, undetectable damage creates unbalance and blocks
the dispersing instrument. It also causes the dispersing element
to overheat and inevitably overloads the drive.
• In the event of unbalance or unusual noises, switch off the applian-
ce immediately in order to prevent unwanted resonance both in the
appliance and the whole assembly. Any unbalance can damage the
assembly, the appliance or destroy the stirring vessel, which, in turn,
can seriously injure the user, as can the rotating dispersing element.
• Unusual noises indicate that the appliance and the dispersion tool
is no longer working properly.

instrument with a freely rotating disper-
sing element without a stirring vessel as
any contact can cause serious injury. It is
important to ensure that the dispersing
element is always inside the stirring ves-
sel when the appliance is switched on.
