Operating the Machine

set completely, but ensure that the concrete has set
enough to support the weight of the machine.
1. Start the engine.
2. After the engine has warmed up, adjust the throttle to
approximately half speed.
3. Adjust the blades to the desired angle.
•
For floating, set the blades flat (parallel to the
ground), but with some tension on the cable.
•
For finishing, set the pitch of the blades to
approximately 6 to 9 mm (1/4 to 3/8 inches), or
approximately 5 to 10 degrees.
4. Hold the handle firmly with 1 hand, and move the
Dyna-Clutch lever to the On position to start the
movement of the blades.
5. Guide the trowel over the concrete in a circular
back-and-forth motion.
Note: If the blades start to dig into the concrete
decrease the amount of the pitch.
6. Set the Dyna-Clutch lever to the Off position, wait for
any moving parts to stop moving, and stop the engine;
refer to Stopping the Engine (page 12).
