Usage Features
The mixer includes several features for user control and safety:
- Speed Control Wheel (1): Allows for adjustment of the mixing speed.
- On/Off Switch (4): Controls the power to the motor. To turn on, press button 1 and then button 2. Button 2 will not function if button 1 is not pressed first. Releasing button 2 stops the machine. Forcing button 2 without first pressing button 1 will break the switch.
- Gear Housing (6): Contains the internal gears for the two-speed transmission.
- Whisk (7): The mixing paddle, available in 140 mm and 160 mm diameters.
- Wrench (8): Used for securing the whisk.
- Metal Handle (9): Provides a grip for operating the tool.
First Use and Whisk Installation:
Before first use, ensure the mains voltage matches the rating plate. To install the whisk, screw it as far as possible into the M14 thread and tighten it securely with the provided wrench. Only whisks conforming to the specified diameter should be used.
General Safety Warnings:
Users must read the instruction manual carefully to reduce the risk of injury. Key safety pictograms indicate:
- Class II appliance: Double insulated for safety.
- Dust mask: Do not work with asbestos-containing materials; wear a dust mask.
- Eye protection: Wear eye protection.
- Hearing protection: Wear hearing protection.
- Eco-friendly disposal: Dispose of packaging and the appliance responsibly.
Personal Safety:
- Stay alert and use common sense. Avoid operating the tool when tired or under the influence of substances.
- Always wear personal protective equipment, including eye protection, a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection as appropriate.
- Prevent unintentional starting by ensuring the switch is off before connecting to power or handling the tool.
- Remove any adjusting keys or wrenches before turning on the power tool.
- Maintain proper footing and balance.
- Dress appropriately: avoid loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair that could get caught in moving parts.
- If dust extraction/collection facilities are provided, ensure they are connected and used correctly to reduce dust-related hazards.
Maintenance Features
Proper maintenance is crucial for prolonging the life of the KME 1600 Mixer and ensuring safe operation.
- Cleaning: Mixing tools should be cleaned after use or if not used for a long time. The device itself can be cleaned with a cloth. Mixing tools can be cleaned with running water. Never use petrol or strong solvents, and prevent any liquids from entering the device.
- Carbon Brushes: The carbon brushes should be checked and maintained after approximately 60 hours of operation. If worn, they should be replaced. To do this, loosen the carbon brush cap, remove the old brush, and replace it with a new one (always replace both brushes simultaneously), then screw the cap back on.
- Air Vents: The motor housing's air vents must not be covered during operation and should be cleaned frequently to prevent flammable materials from accumulating inside the machine.
- Storage: Store the device and accessories in a dry place, out of reach of children.
- Repairs: All repairs must be carried out by qualified specialist personnel using only original manufacturer parts to ensure safety.
- Power Cord Replacement: If the power supply cord needs replacement, it must be done by the manufacturer or an authorized agent to avoid safety hazards.
- Disposal: The crossed-out bin symbol on the appliance indicates that it must be collected separately from other waste at the end of its life. Users should deliver the equipment to appropriate separate collection centers for electrical and electronic waste. This promotes environmentally compatible disposal, recycling, and reuse, preventing negative effects on the environment and health. Illegal disposal is subject to penalties.
The manual emphasizes that only original parts should be used in this machine.
