Step 1 – Choose the Right One<\/strong><\/p>\n

For a poured concrete area no more than 1000m2, a walk behind model with 24- to 36-inch long blades is fit for purpose. Prepare the floating-type and finishing-type blades, or a combination of the two for doing this job.When the work area exceeds 1000m2, a ride-on version becomes a necessity. It can speed up the finishing process before the concrete sets too firmly. The blades needed for performing this job should be 36- to 48-inch long. If there are corners or edges on the slab, switch to the 24-inch blade to handle them. Choose either the floating version or finishing version blades for this job. The combined type is also an ideal fit.<\/p>\n

Step 2 – Examine the Concrete Slab prior to Troweling<\/strong><\/p>\n

Leave the concrete to hardening for a few hours until it is strong enough to support their<\/span> body and power trowel. People<\/span> can test the strength of the concrete by doing a footprint test. Step onto the concrete slab and measure the depth of their<\/span> footprint. If they <\/span>sink down 1\/8 inch more or less, the concrete is at the right hardness<\/p>\n

Step 3 – Float the Concrete to Remove “Hills and Valleys”<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Use the floating blades or the combined blades to level the concrete surface on their<\/span> first pass. The floating motion flattens the protrusions and fills the hollows.<\/p>\n

2. Run the concrete power trowel at a speed approaching 3\/4 of the rated value. In this way, the weight of the machine can be evenly distributed over the concrete slab, thus avoiding the machine digging into the concrete.<\/p>\n

3. The rotational speed is kept at a proper level, preventing splatter of concrete pours being thrown forward to block the machine’s passage.4. Overlap the previous pass by 1\/2 the length of the trowel blades as they<\/span> run the machine from one side to the other of the concrete slab.5. When they <\/span>have finished floating the entire slab once, turn the machine at 90 degrees to their<\/span> first rows. This crossover floating technique allows them<\/span> to focus on the spots that are missed in the first finishing session.<\/p>\n

Step 4 – Finish the Concrete to Seal, Close and Polish<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Change the trowel blade to finishing blades. Or they<\/span>can resume the finishing work with the combined blades to create a shiny, polished surface, with special attention to seal the bug holes on the slab.<\/p>\n

2. Run the power trowel machine at a speed approaching its rated capacity. Lower the blades to come close to the slab surface, in order to apply maximum pressure to the slab.<\/p>\n

3. Make a second pass if necessary, focusing on the protrusions, hollows, or corners.<\/p>\n

Safety Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Prior to operation, users should put on goggles, ear protection and boots with steel toe and soleplate.<\/p>\n

2. Wear heavy leather work gloves while changing power trowel blades.<\/p>\n

3. Move slowly when turning corners to keep the power trowel from tipping.<\/p>\n

4. Turn off the concrete power trowel machine to clean or change blades.5. Enclose the area, for safety and to prevent marring the concrete.<\/p>\n
