This manual provides instructions for the Bosch GRW 18V-160 Professional cordless stirrer. Key operations include battery management, assembly of the mixer paddle, and safe operation using the gear selector and speed controls.
Product Description
The tool is designed for mixing powder-based construction materials like mortar, plaster, adhesives, and non-solvent paints.
Assembly
Using the Extension Piece: The 7 cm extension piece (10) increases the working height for ergonomic use. Screw it onto the drive spindle (9) and tighten with the open-ended spanner (11).
Changing the Mixer Paddle: Screw the mixer paddle (12) into the drive spindle (9). Hold the spindle with an open-ended spanner (22 mm) and tighten the paddle with a second spanner (22 mm or 24 mm).
Operation
Starting: Press the lock-off button (1), then press and hold the on/off switch (3).
Gear Selection: Use the gear selector (7) only when the tool is at a standstill. Gear 1 (low speed, high torque) is for tough materials; Gear 2 (high speed, low torque) is for light/liquid materials.
Speed Adjustment: Regulate speed by varying pressure on the on/off switch (3) or by using the speed preselection thumbwheel (5).
KickBack Control: If the tool suddenly rotates around the axis, the rapid shut-off function triggers, and the LED (6) flashes red. Release and press the switch again to restart.
Maintenance
Always remove the battery before any work on the tool. Keep the tool and ventilation slots clean for safe operation.
