USE
INTRODUCTION
The machine described in this manual of use and maintenance is a power trowel with one
rotor, suitable for smoothing of industrial floors, sidewalks, chute, .etc.
This work is made possible by the rotation of the blades that go to smoothen the surface
being machined.
The movement of the same is made by a internal combustion engine (petrol or diesel) and
transmitted by means of pulleys, belts and gearbox to cruise where the blades are
attached.
The operator to manage the machine is positioned on the side of the handle and grips the
handle strongly.
WARNING in working environment MUST be guaranteed a value of average lighting
of 50 lux according to European standard in force.
All components used are approved and comply with current legislation.
NOTE: It is recommended not to use the machine for purposes other than those for which
it was designed.
In the case of demolition is necessary to follow the provisions on waste disposal in the
country where the demolition takes place.
