5.8 Installing or Changing the Blades
Introduction There are two types of blades available for the trowel:
■
Combination blades can be used throughout the entire concrete working
process, from floating to finishing stages. They are designed for rotation in one
direction only.
■
Finish blades are used only in the final stages of the concrete working process.
While in use, these blades are pitched at progressively steeper angles to
burnish the concrete. Finish blades are symmetrical and can be installed to
rotate in either direction.
