OTHER PRECAUTIONS
• Never leave the trowel unattended while it is running.
• Always keep clear of rotating or moving parts.
• Never use additional weights other than the weights recommended by the
manufacturer. The use of unauthorized weights could lead to personal injury or damage
to the trowel.
• Never fill the fuel tank while the engine is running. Turn the engine off and allow it to
cool before refueling.
• The muffler, exhaust pipes and other engine parts will become hot during operation and
will remain hot for a while after shutdown. Do not touch until allowed to sufficiently cool.
Do not allow debris, rags, paper, or leaves to accumulate around these areas.
Do not keep tools, buckets, loose materials on the trowel while it is
running and never allow anyone other than the operator on or near the
trowel while it is in operation.
Do not use the trowel for any purpose other than its intended purposes
or applications.
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
Some walk-behind trowels are powered by electric motors. Electric motors and
components present special hazards during operation. Read the operator's manual.
• Never operate a trowel with a damaged or worn electrical cord. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current load.
• When trowel is used outdoors, use only extension cords that are marked for outdoor
use. Use only appropriate extension cords that have grounding-type plugs and
receptacles that accept the machine's plug.
• Keep all electrical cords away from rotating elements, heat, oil, and
sharp edges to avoid damaging them.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, metal railings, radiators and
metal ductwork.
• Always check the power supply before running the trowel. Using the wrong voltage
supply will damage the motor.
• Always make sure the motor switch is OFF or in the stop position before plugging the
trowel into the power supply.
• Do not operate an electric powered trowel in the rain or snow. Keep the motor, switch,
and electrical cords dry.
• Never operate the trowel in areas exposed to flammable or explosive liquids or gases.
Sparks could ignite fumes.
