8. Working

· To move backwards and forwards the machine at circular arches in the

longitudinal direction of the floor.

· It recommend itself to keep away from the surface just worked, moving itself at

small footprints.

· THE LEVELLING CAN BE MADE GENERALLY IN TWO PHASES:

Ø The FLOATING JOB: it is the hand finishing with a wooden tool. It becomes

a flat surface, without due irregularity to the concrete flowing.

Ø The FINISHING WORK: it is the hand finishing with a metal tool. It becomes

a perfect flat and uniform surface.

· With the machine complete of floating blades executes itself the FLOATING JOB.

You can start when the concrete hardened, so that it is possible to walk over

without leaving the too evident footprints. It is possible to make this operation with

a good yield, using also smoothing plate.

· If it forms itself a concrete roll around at the diameter of the blades rotation, this

means the working has been started too soon.

· To not stay long in the same place to not cause potholes of the machine.

· The FINISHING JOB follows the FLOATING JOB using only the finishing or the

combination blades, it is possible to start the FINISHING JOB when from the

concrete floor every humidity trace are disappearance. To obtain a good result in

the cold or damp environments, it is necessary to increase the waiting time before

to start the FINISHING JOB. To ascertain oneself the correct moment to begin

the FINISHING JOB, it is sufficient to press the hand palm on the surface and start

when it not sticks more to the skin. To have a good finishing it is necessary to

make at least two passes. During the first passage, the blades must have a few

degrees of inclination, to not make a too strong pressure on the surface. While the

second passage must start at the latest possible, but before the concrete is

hardened, naturally increasing also the blades inclination.

· The excellent results of the levelling operations much depend on the quality of the

equipments and the ability of the user.
