LIFTING THE TROWEL
WARNING
Extra care should be taken when lifting the trowel.
Serious personal injury or damage to the equipment
can be caused by a dropped trowel.
WARNING
NEVER attempt to lift the trowel alone. NEVER lift the
trowel by the guard ring, as the trowel may rotate and
cause injury.
ALWAYS make sure the handle is secure, and use only
the manufacturer's approved lifting point. The trowel
may be lifted by the center lifting bail using a crane or
other device with adequate lifting capacity.
WARNING
NEVER lift the trowel to unnecessary heights.
NEVER stand underneath the trowel while it is
being lifted.

LIFTING AND TRANSPORTING
Lifting Bail
The lifting bail provides an optimal lift point for the trowel.
When lifting the trowel onto a concrete slab, attach a chain
or rope to the lifting bail. MAKE SURE the capacity of the
lifting device is sufficient for the weight of the trowel.
Using a crane or forklift to lift the trowel (Figure 1) is highly
recommended, and is perfectly safe for the trowel. ALWAYS
use extra care when lifting the trowel.
