The Fox F7860-240 Paddle Mixer has a 1300W motor that generates 1.75hp, driving the heavy duty M14/140mm paddle. It has a 2-stage gear box that is electronically variable, so a range of no load speeds can be offered: from 180 to 700rpm. The multiple speeds give you excellent control when mixing cement, plaster or paint. There is a slow start function to avoid splatter & spray, keeping your work space soil free. There are comfort grip handles for user comfort & external brush caps for quick changing of carbon brushes.
