Maneuvering the Trowel
1.Get into the operator’s position behind the handle. With a secure foothold and a firm grasp on the handle, slowly increase the engine speed until the desired blade speed is obtained.
2.Figure 31 below illustrates a typical walk-behind trowel application. Practice maneuvering the trowel.The trick is to let the trowel do the work.
3.Continue to practice maneuvering the trowel. Try to practice as if you were finishing a slab of concrete. Practice edging and covering a large area.
Remember a good finishing technique is to work backwards. Be careful when moving backwards so that hazards can be avoided. The best way to get accustomed to the trowel is repeated use.
