REMEMBER:
• NEVER place your hands or any part of your body in any dangerous
location.
• NEVER operate, service, or adjust the blender without appropriate
training and first reading and understanding this manual.
• NEVER try to pull material out of the blender with your hands while it is
running!
• Before you start the blender check the following:
• Remove all tools from the blender;
• Be sure no objects (tools, nuts, bolts, clamps, bars) are
laying in the metering or mixing area;
• If your blender has been inoperative or unattended, check all settings
before starting the unit.
• At the beginning of your shift and after breaks, verify that the controls
and other auxiliary equipment are functioning properly.
• Keep all safety guards in place and in good repair. NEVER attempt to
bypass, modify, or remove safety guards. Such alteration is not only
unsafe, but will void the warranty on your equipment.
• When changing control settings to perform a different mode of operation,
be sure selector switches are correctly positioned. Locking selector
switches should only be adjusted by authorized personnel and the keys
removed after setting.

maintenance
• NEVER stand or sit where you could slip or stumble into the blender
while working on it.
• DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewelry, which can be caught while
working on a blender. Also cover or tie back long hair.
• Clean the blender and surrounding area DAILY, and inspect the
machine for loose, missing or broken parts.
• Shut off power to the blender when it is not in use. Turn the switch to
the OFF position, or unplug it from the power source.
