WARNING
SILICOSIS WARNING RESPIRATORY HAZARDS
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials with silica in their composition may give off dust or mists containing crystalline silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and numerous other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or substantial inhalation of airborne crystalline silica can cause serious or fatal respiratory diseases, including silicosis. In addition, California and some other authorities have listed respirable crystalline silica as a substance known to cause cancer. When cutting such materials, always follow the respiratory precautions mentioned above.
WARNING
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials can generate dust, mists and fumes containing chemicals known to cause serious or fatal injury or illness, such as respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. If you are unfamiliar with the risks associated with the particular process and/or material being cut or the composition of the tool being used, review the material safety data sheet and/or consult your employer, the material manufacturer/supplier, governmental agencies such as OSHA and NIOSH and other sources on hazardous materials. California and some other authorities, for instance, have published lists of substances known to cause cancer, reproductive toxicity, or other harmful effects.
Control dust, mist and fumes at the source where possible. In this regard use good work practices and follow the recommendations of the manufacturers or suppliers, OSHA/NIOSH, and occupational and trade associations. Water should be used for dust suppression when wet cutting is feasible. When the hazards from inhalation of dust, mists and fumes cannot be eliminated, the operator and any bystanders should always wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for the materials being used.

Maneuvering the Trowel
1. Get into the operator’s position behind the handle. With a
secure foothold and a firm grasp on the handles slowly increase the engine speed until the desired blade speed is obtained.
2. To maneuver the trowel, gently lift up on or press down on
the main trowel handle. To move the machine to the operator’s left,

3. The best method for finishing concrete is to slowly walk
backwards (Figure 25) with the trowel, guiding the trowel from side to side. This will cover all footprints on wet concrete.
4. Remember that if you let go of the trowel, just step away and
let the trowel come to a complete stop before trying to recover the trowel.

Trowel Arm Adjustment
Use the following procedure to check and adjust trowel arms, and check for worn or damaged components when it becomes apparent that the trowel is finishing poorly or in need of routine maintenance. Look for the following indications. Trowel arm alignment, worn spider bushings or bent trowel arms may the cause.
1. Place the trowel in a FLAT, LEVEL area.
A Any unlevel will give an incorrect perception of adjustment. Ideally, a 5 x 5 Ft. (1.5 x 1.5 Meter) three-quarter inch (19 mm) thick plate should be used for testing.
2. Pitch the blades as flat as possible. The
