If in doubt, use larger cord.
Be sure to check voltage requirements of the mixer to your incoming power source.
Do not expose
mixers to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a motor compartment will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not let your fingers
touch the terminals of plug when installing to or removing from the
outlet.
Ground fault circuit interrupters.
If work area is not equipped with a permanently installed
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter outlet (GFCI), use a plug-in GFCI between mixer or extension
cord and power receptacle.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert,
watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a mixer. Do not
use a mixer while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating mixers may result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly.
Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
Use safety apparel and equipment.
Use safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields
which comply with current national standards, or when needed, a face shield. Use as dust mask
in dusty work conditions. This applies to all persons in the work area. Also use non-skid safety
shoes, hardhat, gloves, dust collection systems, and hearing protection when appropriate.
Avoid accidental starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging mixer into
power outlet. In the event of a power failure, while a mixer is being used, turn the switch off to
prevent surprise starting when power is restored.
Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches
before connecting to the power supply or turning on the
mixer. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the mixer may result in personal
injury.
MIXER USE AND CARE
Do not force the mixer to perform an operation other than its intended use.
Mixers do a
better and safer job when used in the manner for which they are designed. Plan your work, and
use the correct mixer for the job.
Never use a mixer
with a malfunctioning switch.
Any mixer that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired by an authorized service representative before using.
Disconnect the power from mixer
and place the switch in the locked or off position before
servicing, adjusting, installing accessories or attachments, or storing. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the mixer accidentally.
