Concrete Finishing Techniques
The following steps are intended as a basic guide to
machine operation, and are not to be considered a complete
guide to concrete finishing. We suggest that all operators
(experienced and novice) read “
Slabs on Grade
” published by
the
American
Concrete Institute, Detroit, Michigan
. Read
the “Training” section of this manual for more information.
Pitching the Blades (Standard Handle)
To pitch the blades upwards, (Figure 44) simply turn the
star wheel

will cause the blades to lay flat.
