Procat metal paint mixer instructions for use:
-
Fit the mixer: Open the chuck of the cordless drill and insert the shaft of the mixer. Tighten the chuck to make sure the mixer is held firmly.
-
Prepare the material: Pour the paint, mortar or other material into a suitable container that is large enough to prevent splashing during mixing.
-
Mix the material: Start the drill at a low speed and immerse the mixer in the material. Increase the speed gradually, making sure the material mixes evenly. Move the mixer up and down and along the sides of the container for thorough mixing.
-
Finish mixing: When the material has reached the consistency you want, switch off the drill and carefully remove the mixer from the container.
-
Clean the mixer: Clean the mixer immediately after use with a suitable solvent or water, depending on the material mixed. Dry it carefully to prevent rust.
How to choose the right paint mixer:
-
Type of material: Choose the mixer according to the material you are going to mix. A smaller mixer is enough for light paints, while thicker mortars need a larger, stronger mixer.
-
Amount to be mixed: For larger amounts, a bigger mixer that can handle the larger volume efficiently is recommended.
-
Drill power: Make sure your drill is powerful enough to mix the mixer and material you have chosen. Heavier mixing jobs need more torque and power.
-
Size of the mixing container: Choose the length and size of the mixer to suit the size of the container you mix in. A longer shaft is useful in deeper containers.
