WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock or tool failure,
use caution to prevent liquid material from entering
the tool. If the tool falls into the material being
mixed, unplug the tool immediately and have it
checked by a qualified repair person.

in the container to prevent spillage and reduce the risk
of the material splashing back on you or the tool during
operation.

the material, lower the speed or adjust the gear setting.
 Depending on the material being mixed, a rest time (slake)
may be required, refer to the manufacturer's instructions.
 When mixing is complete, stop the tool and remove the
paddles. Clean the paddles and store for later use.
