2.13 Operation
See Graphic: wc_gr003239
Choose correct blade type and attach blades to trowel arms. Do not
mix float or finish blades with combination blades.
Note: When operating on soft concrete, do not let trowel stand in one
spot too long. Always lift trowel from slab when operation is complete.
Note: “Left” and “Right” references are made from the operator's
position.
2.13.1 Adjust handle height to suit operator. See Installing and Adjusting
Handles.
2.13.2 Start the trowel per To Start.
2.13.3 To move trowel forward twist handle clockwise (a).
2.13.4 To move backward twist handle counterclockwise (b).
2.13.5 To move to the left lift up slightly on the handle (c).
2.13.6 To move to the right press down slightly on the handle (d).
2.13.7 Clean trowel after each use to remove concrete splatter.
Personnel other than the trowel operator should not be allowed in the
work area, as severe injury can occur from contact with operating
trowel blades.
It is recommended that each set of work passes be at 90° to the
previous set of work passes. This will help prevent the creation of
valleys in the slab surface.
For example, in the illustration, the second set of work passes (2) is
90° to the first set of work passes (1).
Be careful when changing directions that the electrical cord does not
become wrapped around the trowel or the trowel blades.
