TROWEL BLADES AND PANS
Do not attempt to clean, service or perform adjustments on the trowel while it is running.
Do not remove while the trowel is hanging overhead. Always support the trowel securely
on a flat, level surface before changing blades or pans.
• Always handle blades and pans carefully. Worn blades or pans may develop sharp
edges that can cause serious cuts.
• Always replace worn or damaged parts with service parts designated by the
manufacturer.
Replace blades and pans as a complete set – even if only one blade or pan is showing
wear or damage. They can wear differently depending on different jobs, and a difference
in blade size will damage the finish of the slab surface.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS
Hydraulic fluid systems operate under high pressure. Even a small leak can have enough
force to penetrate the eyes or skin. If injury occurs, seek immediate medical treatment by a
physician familiar with injuries that are caused by hydraulic oil escaping under pressure.
Use a piece of wood or cardboard to find hydraulic oil leaks. Do not use your bare hands.
Wear safety glasses to prevent injuries to the eyes.
