PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Control the tool, personal movement and the work environment to avoid personal injury
or damage to tool.
1. Do not operate any tool when tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medications.
2. Avoid wearing clothes or jewelry that can become entangled with the moving parts
of a tool. Keep long hair covered or bound.
3. Do not overreach when operating a tool. Proper footing and balance enables better
control in unexpected situations.
4. Support the workpiece or clamp it to a stable platform. Holding the workpiece by
hand or against your body may lead to personal injury.
5. Securely hold this tool using both hands. Using a tool with only one hand can
result in loss of control.
SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use)
replace strict adherence to the tool safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or
incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
1. Use the correct tool for the job. This tool was designed for a specific function. Do
not modify or alter this tool or use it for an unintended purpose.
2. Always check that the supply voltage is the same as the voltage indicated on the
nameplate of the tool.
3. Never use the tool in or near an explosive atmosphere.
4 For technical questions call 1-800-665-8685
V 4.1 9A Electric Mixer 8642969
4. Never mix combustible substances.
5. Never reach with your hand or any other object into the mixing container during
the mixing process.
6. Wear protective gloves, a dust mask, close-fitting clothes and sturdy shoes when
operating the tool.
7. To maintain complete control, firmly hold your tool with both hands. Do not place
hands over air vents. Proper cooling of the motor is necessary to ensure normal
life of the tool.
8. This tool will not stop moving immediately. Do not lay the tool down or leave it
unattended until it has come to a complete stop. A part that is moving could make
the tool jump or grab a surface and pull the tool out of your control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Disconnect power supply. Disconnect the tool from the power supply when not in
use, before cleaning, servicing or changing any parts.
2. Protect yourself against electric shocks when working on electrical equipment.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cooking
stoves and refrigerators. There is an increased chance of electrical shock if your
body is grounded.
3. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double
insulation eliminates the need for a three wire grounded power cord and grounded
power supply system.
4. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the
grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. If the tool should electronically malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
5. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry tools or pull the plug from an
outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Do not
operate this tool if the power cord is frayed or damaged. Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock. Do not modify the
plug in any way.

8642969 9A Electric Mixer V 4.1
6. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-
A” or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric
shock. Use in conjunction with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). If
operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, the use of a GFCI
reduces the risk of electric shock. It is recommended that the GFCI should have a
rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
7. Avoid using an unnecessarily long extension cord. Choose a cord that is
appropriate for the situation, as a cord that is too long and running across the
floor can be more dangerous than helpful. Using a cord that is too long or too thin
could damage the tool. Unroll the cord completely to prevent it from overheating.
8. Place the electrical cord in a position that prevents it from coming into contact
with the tool and from getting caught by the work piece. The cord should always
stay behind the tool.
9. Keep all connections dry and off the ground to reduce the risk of electric shock.
Do not touch the plug with wet hands.
WARNING! People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before using
this product. Operations of electrical equipment in close proximity to a heart
pacemaker could cause interference or failure of the pacemaker.
LOW VOLTAGE
Low voltage may cause overheating due to higher power current being drawn to the tool
that will shorten the motor life.
An extension cord may cause a drop in power to the tool if it is too long or the
amperage rating is not correct. This may result in the following:
1. The tool will not activate when switched on.
2. The tool may switch on, but fails to maintain power when applied to a workpiece.
3. The tool may overheat, possibly starting a fire.
Test the tool by plugging it directly to the power supply. If it powers on, change the
extension cord with the correct rating and as short as needed. The workpiece may also
need to be relocated closer to the power supply.

VIBRATION PRECAUTIONS
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause
temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders.
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first be
examined by a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure medical
problems are not being caused by or worsened from tool use. Pregnant women or
people who have impaired blood circulation to the hands, past hand injuries,
nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this
tool. If you feel any medical symptoms related to vibrations (such as tingling,
numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical attention as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood flow to the hands and
fingers, increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.
4. Use tools with the lowest amount of vibration when there is a choice between
different processes.
5. Do not use for extended periods. Take frequent breaks when using this tool.
6. Let the tool do the work. Grip the tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping
safe control of it).
WARNING! If abnormal vibrations occur, stop using this tool immediately.
UNPACKING
WARNING! Do not operate the tool if any part is missing. Replace the missing part
before operating. Failure to do so could result in a malfunction and personal injury.
