Troubleshooting
Paddle not mixing effectively
Ensure the paddle is fully inserted and securely tightened in the mixer chuck. Check that the mixer speed is appropriate for the material's viscosity. Verify the material consistency is not too dry or too wet.
Excessive vibration during use
Confirm the paddle is straight and undamaged. Ensure the mixer chuck is properly tightened around the shank. Try a lower mixer speed if the material is very thick.
Material sticking to the paddle
Clean the paddle immediately after use with water and a stiff brush. For dried-on material, soak the paddle in water before cleaning. Ensure the zinc plating is intact to facilitate easier cleaning.
