Background
Four types of blades are available for the trowels.
Note: Trowel blades must NOT be interchanged, i.e., do NOT put larger diameter
blades on a smaller diameter trowel.
Procedure
Perform the procedure below to install the blades.
1. Orient blades as shown (a). This positions the raised edges of the blade
correctly for the clockwise rotation of the trowel arms.
