IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This product is not intended for use by persons suffering from diminished physical,
ensory or mental abilities; lack of experience, knowledge or skills unless they are
supervised by a person responsible for their safety. Keep children away.
• Do not operate cement mixer in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Electric motors create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Do not use in wet conditions.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating the cement mixer.
• Work area should be clear of debris and obstructions.
•Ensure all tools and other equipment are removed from area and the
cement mixer drum before operating.
•The cement mixer should be on a level surface to prevent tipping, rolling or falling.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the unit. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Ensure power cord is in good condition before each use. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating the cement mixer outdoors or in a damp location, use a
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply.
• When operating the cement mixer outdoors, use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose cement mixer to rain or wet conditions. Water entering an
electric motor will increase the risk of electric shock.

WARNING
• Never modify the plug in any way. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
•If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
• Do not place hands or tools (ie. shovel) in or around the drum while
operating. Personal injury could occur.
• Do not use the cement mixer while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating may
result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce the risk of personal injuries.
• Never leave cement mixer running unattended.

WARNING
• Ensure drum is empty before transporting.
• Do not overload mixer. See Specifications, page 2 for load capacity.
Overloading could cause damage to the cement mixer.
• Store cement mixer out of the reach of children.
• Maintain the cement mixer. Check for wear and damaged parts. Before each
use ensure the cement mixer operates properly. Any broken or missing parts must
be repaired or replaced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained cement mixers.
• Keep the cement mixer clean. Clean after each use.
• Ensure drum is rotating when filling or emptying the mixer. This ensures a
good mix and prevents damage to the motor.
• Be familiar with concrete mix being used, particularly quick set formulas.
This is important when motor overload protection shuts off the motor to prevent
motor damage.
• Always practice environment pollution procedures. Clean out the drum in a
designated area where the concrete and rinse water can be contained. Concrete
and rinse water can pollute storm drains and surface water.
• Use the cement mixer in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the
cement mixer for operations different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
• Only use accessories recommended by the manufacturer.
