PREPARE FOR SAFE OPERATION
CHECK THE AREA
Thoroughly check the area for unusual or
dangerous conditions, such as tools, or items that
may damage the trowel or be propelled by the
trowels rotating blades. Note where pipes and
forms are located. Locate and mark protrusions
(rebar, anchor bolts, floor drains, etc.) in the
concrete.
GETTING ON AND OFF A RIDE-ON TROWEL
If operating a ride-on trowel, mount and dismount
carefully. Use the steps and hand holds provided.
Do not use control levers as hand holds and never
use guard rings as steps. Watch for surfaces that
may be slippery. Never jump off a ride-on trowel.

PREPARE FOR SAFE OPERATION
Inspect electrical wiring for damage or wear.
Batteries produce explosive gas. Keep open flame
or sparks away.
In case of accident or fire, be ready to act quickly,
yet calmly. Do not panic. Knowing ahead of time
where to locate a first aid kit, fire extinguisher, or to
get assistance will help should an emergency
situation come up.
CHECK THE WORK AREA
Learn – beforehand –
as much about your
working area as
possible.
Be observant of other
workers, bystanders
and other machinery
in the area. Keep all
unauthorized,
untrained people and
children out of the
area while the trowel
is in operation.
OPERATING ON AN ELEVATED DECK
(MULTI-STORY OPERATION)
Consult local/state regulations before you operate
equipment on an elevated deck. If operating on an
elevated deck, ensure perimeter safety cabling of
proper size and strength is in place. Do not operate
the trowel close to the edge of the deck.
TRANSPORTING THE TROWEL
Never transport the trowel with float pans attached
unless safety catches are used and are specifically
cleared for such transport by the manufacturer.
Under no circumstances hoist the trowel more than
three feet off the ground with float pans attached.
Always consult the manufacturer's operation
manual for specific information on transporting the
trowel.
