trigger fully, then release it.
Indicator lamp (Fig. 2)
The green power-ON indicator lamp lights up when the
tool is plugged to the mains. If the indicator lamp is lit but
the tool does not start even if the tool is switched ON, the
carbon brushes may be worn out, or the motor or the
switch may be defective. If the indicator lamp does not
light up, the mains cord or the indicator lamp may be
defective. When the mains cord is defective, the tool nei-
ther starts nor lights the indicator lamp. When the indicator
lamp is defective, the tool starts without the indicator lamp
lighting up.

material may cause the material to splash about.
1. Hold the rear handle of the tool with one hand and the
grip with the other hand firmly, place the mixing blade
under material fully and turn on the tool after making
sure work site safety.
2. Move the mixing blade up and down during the mixing
operation so that whole part of material can be mixed.
3. When finishing mixing, turn off the tool, make sure that
the mixing blade has come to a complete stop, and
then pull it out of the vessel.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or

tool is reduced due to built-up dust or particles in the filter.
Insert the slotted bit screwdriver and the like between the
tool and the cover as shown in the figure. Lift it up just like
using a shovel and remove the cover.
Replace the filter in the cover with a new one.

Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. Replace
when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep the carbon
brushes clean and free to slip in the holders. Both carbon
brushes should be replaced at the same time. Use only
identical carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take
out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and
secure the brush holder caps. (Fig. 9)
