OPERATIONS
Before operating the paint mixer, carefully read the Warnings and Cautions in the
Safety section and on the mixer, then follow these steps:
OPERATING THE MIXER
1.
Open the mixer's sliding door.
2.
Slide a container into the groove on the table. Rotate the clamp handle
counter clockwise to open the clamp arms.
3.
Position the bail shield over the container bail by rotating the upper
plate. The bail shield must be removed for containers smaller than
7-1/4" high.
Note:
In situations involving frequent mixing of large and small
(less then 1-gallon) containers, a special elastic cord is
supplied to fasten the bail to the can.
CAUTION
Failure to properly position the bail shield on
containers larger than one gallon may damage
the mixer. It is normal for the bail to move freely
behind the shield.
4.
With both hands, turn the knobs on the crank handle clockwise until
snug. Continue turning until the crank handle suddenly slips.
5.
Close the sliding door.
6.
Set the timer. (Not required for Explosion-Proof model)
7.
Make sure that the emergency stop switch is in the "on" position (pulled
out). This can be done by turning the knob counter clockwise.
