Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, simply insert the hexagonal end of the mixer shaft into the chuck of your electric drill. Tighten the chuck firmly to ensure the stirrer does not slip during operation. Always verify that your drill is set to the 'drill' setting (non-hammer mode) to prevent damage to the tool or the mixing container. To maintain the life of your stirrer, rinse it thoroughly in water or a suitable solvent immediately after use. If mixing plaster or cement, ensure that all residue is removed before it sets, as cured material can be difficult to remove and may disrupt the balance of the stirrer during future applications.
