Operating the trowel
NOTE
Always operate the trowel using the Dead Man Control Handle.
Assembly of the float disc
1. Place the trowel on to the float disc.
2. Rotate the blades so that the blades move
underneath the 4 L shaped brackets.
3. Rotate the blade adjustment knob so that
the blades rise.
4. Ensure that there is sufficient pressure on
the blades and that the disc is tightly
attached to the trowel.
NOTE
The trowel is to be used only by experienced operators and they must have the
knowledge of when the concrete is ready to be troweled and the angle of the
blades.
These instructions should be used as general guidance only.

Floating concrete
Use the float disc or the blades set at a small angle for floating.
The concrete should be sufficiently set before the floating operation takes place.
This must be determined by the operator.
To have the machine move to the right bear down slightly on the handle. Lift
gently on the handle to have machine move to the left.
Do not operate machine in one spot but keep it moving over the surface for
eitherfloating or finishing of concrete. If machine is allowed to stand in one spot
while not operating , lift up on the handle to break loose the suction on the trowels
and move to a new spot before starting to operate the machine.
Finishing concrete
The finishing operation is carried out with the blades set at a large angle.
