5.11 OPERATOR
The operator must be aware of the Trowel’s work environment, be properly trained prior to operating the
equipment, and fully understand this manual. Only one operator may work with the machine at a single time. The
operator must understand and interpret all the drawings and designs in manual, understand all sanitation and safety
regulations pertaining to its operation, have floor grinding experience, know how to perform in an emergency
situation, and have an adequate technical knowledge.
• The work environment for the Trowel should be clean, well-lit, and free of combustible elements.
• Do not Trowel any flammable materials or substances such as fuels, solvents, etc.
• Do not Trowel any corrosive substances unless the Trowel is specifically outfitted with containers suitable for this
purpose.
• Do not Trowel any burning, smoldering, or hot materials. This could result in a possible explosion and/or damage to
the Trowel components.
• If toxic or harmful substances accidentally enter the Trowel cleaner, the container and filters must be removed and
cleaned immediately using the proper protective equipment and safety procedures.
• For this specific machine, sound tests indicate that the emitted noise is level is measured at a maximum of 91
decibels (dBA), for a distance of 1 meter from the machine (and height of 1.60 meters). The vibrations emitted from
the machine have been measured at a maximum value of 0.03 m/s2. • CAUTION: The National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recommends that exposure to noise in the working environment be
maintained below a level equivalent to 85 dBA for a period of eight hours, in order to minimize occupational, noise
induced hearing loss. Any persons working in proximity of the Trowel should wear the proper hearing protection in
order to prevent hearing loss. Please refer to your local laws and regulations for further information on the matter.
