Warn Personnel Before Starting
Before starting, walk completely around the machine.
Make sure no one is on it or close to it
. Let others
know you are starting up and don’t start until everyone
is completely clear of the machine. As the equipment
operator, you are responsible for the safe use of the
machine, so always make sure you have communicated
your work plans to others on the site.
Check the trowel thoroughly at delivery for any shipping
damage.
Locate the trowel in an accessible location, as close to
the work site as possible.
Secure the trowel after it is placed in its intended
operating position so it does not tip, roll, slide or fall.
