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.Inaddition, 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.

SAFETY INFORMATION

TROWEL SAFETY

DANGER



Engine fuel exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon

monoxide. This gas is colorless and odorless, and can

cause death if inhaled.



The engine of this equipment requires an adequate free

ﬂow of cooling air. NEVER operate this equipment in any

enclosed or narrow area

where free ﬂow of the air is

restricted. If the air ﬂow is

restricted it will cause injury

to people and property and

serious damage to the

equipment or engine.



NEVER operate the equipment in an explosive

atmosphere or near combustible materials.An

explosion or ﬁre could result causing severe

bodily harm or even death.

WARNING



ALWAYS keep clear of rotating or moving

parts while operating the trowel.



DO NOT start or operate the trowel if the

drive train will not disengage. Centrifugal

force between the trowel and surface when starting can

cause uncontrolled handle movement that can cause

serious injury. The handle must not move while pulling

the engine recoil starter.



NEVER disconnect any emergency or safety devices.

These devices are intended for operator safety.

Disconnection of these devices can cause severe injury,

bodily harm or even death. Disconnection of any of these

devices will void all warranties.

CAUTION



NEVER stand on trowel during operation.



NEVER lubricate components or attempt service on a

running machine.



NEVER place your feet or hands inside the guard rings

while starting or operating this equipment.

DANGEROUS

GAS FUMES

ALWAYS keep work area

clear around the trowel.

Make sure it is free of

debris and objects.

NOTICE

ALWAYS keep the machine in proper running condition.



Fix damage to machine and replace any broken parts

immediately.

ALWAYS

store equipment properly when it is not being

used. Equipment should be stored in a clean, dry location

out of the reach of children and unauthorized personnel.



A safety manual for operating and maintenance

personnel of concrete power trowels produced by the

Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) can be

obtained for a fee by ordering through their website at

www.aem.org.

ENGINE SAFETY

WARNING

DO NOT

place hands or fingers inside engine

compartment when engine is running.

NEVER

operate the engine with heat shields or

guards removed.

Keep ﬁngers, hands hair and clothing away

from all moving parts to prevent injury.

DO NOT remove the engine oil drain plug

while the engine is hot. Allow the oil to cool before

performing maintenance. This will prevent scalding of

personnel.

CAUTION

NEVER touch the hot exhaust manifold,

mufﬂer or cylinder. Allow these parts to cool

before servicing equipment.

SAFETY INFORMATION

NOTICE



NEVER run engine without an air ﬁlter or with a dirty air

ﬁlter. Severe engine damage may occur. Service air ﬁlter

frequently to prevent engine malfunction.



NEVER tamper with the factory settings

of the engine or engine governor. Damage

to the engine or equipment can result

if operating in speed ranges above the

maximum allowable.

FUEL SAFETY

DANGER



DO NOT add fuel to equipment if it is placed inside

truck bed with plastic liner. Possibility exists of explosion

or ﬁre due to static electricity.



DO NOT start the engine near spilled fuel or combustible

ﬂuids. Fuel is extremely ﬂammable and its vapors can

cause an explosion if ignited.



ALWAYS refuel in a well-ventilated area, away from

sparks and open ﬂames.



ALWAYS use extreme caution when working with

ﬂammable liquids.



DO NOT ﬁll the fuel tank while the engine is running

or hot.



DO NOT overﬁll tank, since spilled fuel could ignite if it

comes into contact with hot engine parts or sparks from

the ignition system.

FUEL

Store fuel in appropriate containers, in well-ventilated

areas and away from sparks and ﬂames.

NEVER use fuel as a cleaning agent.

DO NOT smoke around or near the

equipment. Fire or explosion could result

from fuel vapors or if fuel is spilled on a

hot engine.

TRANSPORTING SAFETY

CAUTION

NEVER allow any person or animal to

stand underneath the equipment while

lifting.

NOTICE



Some walk-behind trowels can be lifted or moved by two

people utilizing lifting tubes or other special attachments.

Generally, however, they must be lifted using lifting bales

and cranes, hoists, or forklifts.

NEVER

transport trowel with ﬂoat pans attached unless

safety catches are used and are speciﬁcally cleared for

such transport by the manufacturer.

NEVER

hoist the trowel more than three feet off the

ground with ﬂoat pans attached.



Before lifting, make sure that the lifting bales are not

damaged.



Always make sure crane or lifting device has been

properly secured to the lifting bales of the equipment.

ALWAYS shutdown engine before transporting.

NEVER lift the equipment while the engine is running.



Tighten fuel tank cap securely and close fuel cock to

prevent fuel from spilling.
