The Pug Mill is for rehydrating or remixing wet and dry clay

• DO NOT operate while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication
• SECURE any loose fitting jewelry or clothing, tie back long hair - they can get caught in moving parts
• The motor of the mill is EXTREMELY strong even though it is moving VERY slow. DO NOT EVER put your hands inside the hopper when the mill is on
• DO NOT push clay into the hopper with either your hands or any tool other than the Pug Mill tamper
• The safety stop bar must be emgaged or pug mill will not turn on
• REFER to instruction manual for further information (see Studio Technician)

OTHER THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN USING THIS MACHINE:

• The tamper slides back and forth and moves toward and away from you, covering 100% of the hopper interior
• If you need to scrape any clay off the tamper or the inside of the hopper, the pug mill MUST be turned off
• The motor of the mill is EXTREMELY strong even though it is moving VERY slow -KEEP YOUR HANDS OUT OF THE HOPPER UNLESS THE MACHINE IS UNPLUGGED
• For maxmium amount of mixing action, add all moist clay into the hoppe at the end closest to the motor
• It takes about 3-5 minutes for clay to process from the motor end to the discharge end
• If the clay comes out sticking to your hand, reprocess it with some drier clay
• If the clay comes out to dry, reprocess it with more water or wet clay
• Remember to close the hopper lid and replace the discharge cap for the exit chute when you are done
