OPERATION

OPERATION (cont.)

11

Turning the Cement Mixer On and Off

• To turn the cement mixer on, press the green button.

• To turn the cement mixer off, press the red button.

Loading the drum

IMPORTANT: Completely unwind an extension cord (not supplied). Connect it tothe cement mixer first before connecting to a power supply.

IMPORTANT: Always start the cement mixer before loading the drum assembly(1). Load the drum assembly (1) while it’s rotating.

IMPORTANT: Ensure material is not loaded into the cement mixer all at once. Addthe material steadily over the mixing blades (12), this helps to avoid the materialfrom sticking to the back of the drum assembly (1).

For best loading results, proceed as follows:

• Add the required amount of stone into the drum assembly (1).

• Add the required amount of sand into the drum assembly (1).

• Add the required amount of cement into the drum assembly (1).

• Pour the required amount of water into the drum assembly (1).

Warnings:

1. Do not let the shovel mouth or any other devices enter the drum mouthduring loading.

2. Never place hands inside the revolving drum.

3. Place the cement mixer as close as possible to the work site. Do notmove the cement mixer when loaded.

4. Retighten all bolts attaching motor and motor housing assembly (2),drum assembly (1) and frame assembly (5) after first mix.

Note: When measuring out cement and ballast (or sharp sand/gravel), use a smallbucket to ensure accurate ratios of cement: ballast. Refer to the instructions thatcome with your cement.

Ensure your chosen quantity of concrete is large enough that the cement mixer willfunction and small enough that it will fit in the drum assembly (1), see load sizes inspecifications section of manual to calculate quantities.

1. Turn the cement mixer on.

2. Add approximately half the ballast (or half the sand and half the gravel) required.

3. Add a small amount of water and allow it to wash around with the ballast for aminute or two.

4. Add all the required cement.

5. Add the remaining ballast/sand/gravel and allow it to mix for a minute or two.

12

OPERATION (cont.)

6. Gradually add more water giving it a chance to mix in and keep an eye on theconsistency. A good mix should be smooth and plastic, not wet and runny or dryand crumbly. The mix on the inside should come approximately 3/4 of the way upto the top and then fall back into the mix, if the mix is not taken up the side, themixture is too wet.

Note: One of the most common mistakes made when mixing cement is adding toomuch water. Add water in small quantities. If the mixture does get too wet, sprinkle inhandfuls of ballast and cement until it firms up.

IMPORTANT: Do not turn the mixer off while it’s full of material. Empty the drum withthe drum rotating.

7. When the mixture is the right consistency to use, empty the drum. Pour the mixedcement by releasing the tipping handle (16) and rotating the drum to the emptyposition (Fig.11) while the machine is running. Be sure to pour the mix slowly andsmoothly to avoid tilting the cement mixer.

8. When the drum is empty, turn the cement mixer off.

13

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

Warning: Do not pour or spray water directly into or over the motor cover.

IMPORTANT: Never put any of your body parts (including hands) inside the drumwhile it is rotating.

IMPORTANT: Wipe off any external material on the motor cover. Do not usepetrol, turpentine, lacquer, paint thinner, dry cleaning fluids or similar products.The use of chemical products or solvents may damage the motor cover.

Thoroughly clean your cement mixer at the end of each days operation.

Keep your cement mixer clean. The slightest trace of material left in the drumassembly (1) will harden and attract more material each time the machine is used.

Dried cement should be scraped out of the drum assembly (1).

DO NOT throw bricks into the drum assembly (1) to clean it out.

DO NOT beat on the drum with a shovel, hammer or other tools to break upaccumulation of dried cement mix as the cement mixer may be damaged.

The drum may be scoured for approximately 2 minutes, using a 1” stone andwater mixture. After this, discharge the stone/water mixture and hose down thedrum assembly (1) inside and out.

The IP44 protection clad construction of the mixer enables the DRUM ASSEMBLYONLY to be hosed down safely. Avoid getting water on the motor and motorhousing (8), DO NOT wet the motor and motor housing (8).

General Maintenance

1. Ensure that the power is disconnected from the tool prior to any maintenancebeing carried out.

2. Ball bearings are packed with grease at the factory. No further lubrication ofbearings is required.

3. During normal use, painted surfaces can lose their coating during the mixingprocess. Wipe all exposed surfaces regularly with an oily rag to preventcorrosion. (Note: Loss of paint and rust are not covered under warranty.)

4. Keep air vents clean of dust and dirt.

5. Remove dust and dirt from the cement mixer regularly with soft cloth, brush orcompressed air. Use a mild detergent and a soft cloth to clean plastic parts.

6. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by an electrician or a power tool repairer.
