Additional Safety for Cement Mixers
1.HAZARDOUS DUST. All cement, mortar, grout, and silicate dusts are hazardous to respiratory systems. Protect yourself and any bystanders by always wearing a respirator approved to guard against these kinds of dusts.
2.PINCH/CRUSHING HAZARD AREA. The drum has a noticeable ring of gear teeth around the circumference. The area where these teeth meet the driving gear is a severe pinch hazard. Keep hands, fingers, and all body parts away from these gear teeth and the driving gear to avoid injury from this hazard. DO NOT operate the mixer with the gear cover/guard removed!
3.CHILDREN. Never allow children to play on, in, or with the cement mixer.
4.STORAGE. Store the cement mixer with the drum in the down position and discon- nected from power to reduce the risk of children climbing inside and injuring them- selves.
5.ENTANGLEMENT. The spinning drum and engaging gears present an entanglement hazard. When using the cement mixer, tie back long hair, roll up long sleeves, and remove loose clothing or jewelry to reduce the risk of an entanglement injury.
6.SERVICE & ADJUSTMENTS. Like all machines, this machine presents a risk of injury if it is serviced or adjusted while it is connected to power. Disconnect power before doing any service, maintenance, or adjustments to reduce the risk of acciden- tal injury.
7.WATER VS. ELECTRIC COMPONENTS. The electric components are designed to resist accidental exposure to water, but they are not waterproof. Avoid intentionally getting the motor and switch wet to reduce the risk of shock or equipment damage. If the internal parts of these components do get wet, immediately disconnect power and allow the parts to completely dry before reconnecting the mixer to the power supply.
Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this machine. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to lessen the pos- sibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri- ous personal injury may occur.
No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious per- sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor work results.
