Troubleshooting

Paddle does not fit drill.

Verify that your drill has an M14 threaded spindle. This paddle is specifically designed for M14 threads.

Uneven mixing or material clumps remain.

Ensure the paddle is fully submerged in the material. Try a slower drill speed initially and increase gradually. Check if the drill has sufficient power for the material's viscosity.

Excessive splashing during use.

Start mixing at the lowest speed setting. Keep the paddle head submerged as much as possible. Ensure the material is not overloaded in the bucket.

Paddle shows signs of rust.

Although powder-coated and rust-resistant, prolonged exposure to moisture can cause surface rust. Clean and dry the paddle thoroughly after each use and store it in a dry environment.
