Polishing machine: basic knowledge, usage methods, and precautions

Polishing machine is a commonly used equipment for concrete surface treatment, which can smooth and compact the concrete surface, and form a smooth surface. In recent years, with the continuous development of the construction industry, the application of polishing machines has become increasingly widespread. This article will introduce the basic knowledge, usage methods, and precautions of the polishing machine.

1、 Basic knowledge of polishing machines

Structure: The polishing machine usually consists of gasoline engine, gearbox, spatula, and other parts. The gasoline engine is the power source of the polishing machine, which transmits power through the gearbox to rotate the trowel.

Types: Polishing machines can be divided into various types according to their scope of use, such as cement plastering machines, ground plastering machines, concrete plastering machines, etc. Different types of polishing machines are suitable for different construction occasions and needs.

2、 Usage of the polishing machine

Preparation before use: Before using the polishing machine, it is necessary to first check whether the oil in the gasoline engine and gearbox is fully filled, and confirm whether the wiping plate is placed correctly. At the same time, in order to ensure operation, operators need to wear protective equipment, such as protective goggles, gloves, etc.

Operation steps: When operating the polishing machine, the operator needs to first ignite, hold the control handle, and then push the control lever forward to rotate the trowel. When it is necessary to change the direction of rotation of the spatula, the operator only needs to pull the joystick back. During the operation, the operator should pay attention to maintaining the level of the wiping plate to ensure the smoothing effect.

Operation precautions: When using the polishing machine, the operator should avoid operating on extreme weather (such as strong winds, low temperatures, etc.) or uneven ground; During operation, it is necessary to keep the gasoline engine in a flameout state to avoid accidents; When any abnormalities are found in the machine, it should be immediately stopped for inspection.

3、 Precautions for Polishing Machine

Safety first: When using the polishing machine, the operator must comply with the operating procedures to ensure their own and others' safety. Especially during the operation process, the operator should maintain concentration to avoid accidents caused by operational errors.

Maintenance: In order to ensure the normal operation of the polishing machine and extend its service life, the operator should regularly inspect and maintain the machine. For example, it is necessary to regularly check whether the oil, cooling water, etc. of gasoline engines are normal; Regularly clean the dust and debris inside the machine.

Reasonable use: When using a polishing machine, the operator should choose the appropriate model and accessories according to different construction occasions and needs. At the same time, during use, it is necessary to avoid excessive use and abuse of the machine to avoid premature wear and damage.

Storage: After the construction is completed, the operator should store the polishing machine in a dry and ventilated place to avoid prolonged exposure to damp environments that may cause rust and damage to the machine. Meanwhile, during storage, the machine should be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure that it is in good condition at all times.

In short, as a concrete treatment equipment, the troweling machine has been widely used in the construction industry. Only by adhering to operating procedures, paying attention to safety and maintenance during use can it fully play its role and improve construction efficiency and quality.
