Working techniques
The floating operation removes dents on the concrete
surface. The concrete surface must be sufficiently hard
before the floating operation. The concrete surface is
sufficiently hard when a shoe gives not more than 3 mm/
0.12 in. deep recess on the concrete surface.
When the floating operation is completed, the concrete
surface is prepared for the troweling operation. The
troweling operation increases the density of the concrete
surface and makes it smooth and hard.
CAUTION:
concrete surface during operation. Loose
stones can make marks that are not easy
to remove from the concrete surface.
To do the floating operation
1. Set the throttle control to an applicable speed.
CAUTION:
high. Too high speed on wet concrete
can cause damage to the surface. Adjust
the speed during the operation as the
concrete becomes harder.
2. Adjust the blade pitch until there is tension in the
blade pitch cable. Refer to
on page 13 .
3. Move the product across the concrete surface.
A
a) Move from one side to the opposite side across
all of the concrete surface (A). When you turn to
go in the opposite direction, do an overlap of ½
the diameter of the blade assembly.
b) Move from one side to the opposite side across
all of the concrete surface in a perpendicular
pattern (B). When you turn to go in the opposite
direction, do an overlap of ½ the diameter of the
blade assembly.
4. Stop the product and remove it from the concrete
surface.

stops, immediately lift the product from
the concrete surface.

a) Adjust the throttle control to an applicable speed
for the condition of the surface. Too high speed
can cause damage to the surface.
b) Adjust the blade pitch to increase the pressure
on the concrete surface as necessary during
operation.
c) Move from one side to the opposite side across
all of the concrete surface (A). When you turn to
go in the opposite direction, do an overlap of ½
the diameter of the blade assembly.
d) Move from one side to the opposite side across

5. Wait until the concrete is sufficiently set.
6. Do the procedure again and again until the concrete
surface has a satisfactory finish and is fully set.
