# Work instructions for stirring

- Do not use the power tool in a stand.

- Avoid splashing the material. Otherwise you could slip and lose control of the power tool.

- Avoid continuously operating the power tool at reduced speed. Otherwise the motor of the power tool could overheat.

To release the lock-on button (5), briefly press the on/off switch (6) and then let it go. This will prevent the power tool from restarting unintentionally (risk of injury).

The stirrer paddle selected depends on the material that is to be stirred.

For materials with low viscosity, e.g. emulsion paint, varnishes, adhesive, grouting compound or cement slurry, use a stirrer paddle with a left-hand spiral. The material is moved from the top downwards in a stirrer paddle with a left-hand spiral. The stirrer paddle is pushed upwards. Materials with low viscosity are mixed in a way which minimises splattering.

For materials with high viscosity, e.g. ready-mixed plaster, concrete, cement, screed, filler or epoxy resin, use a stirrer paddle with right-hand spiral. The material is moved from the bottom upwards in a stirrer paddle with a right-hand spiral. The stirrer paddle works its way into the mixture. Materials with high viscosity are mixed thoroughly.

Move the power tool up and down when working. Clean the stirrer paddle after use.

- Store the power tool in a safe place. Ensure that it cannot fall over. The power tool may become damaged if this happens.
