Usage
:Usage Guidance (How to Use) :
- Before starting, ensure the trowel blade and handle are clean and free from hardened mortar.
- Scoop the required amount of mortar onto the blade’s flat surface.
- Spread the mortar evenly on the brick or block surface you are laying.
- Use the tip or narrow edge of the blade to push into joints, corners or tight spots.
- Place the brick or block onto the mortar bed and press it into place; adjust alignment as needed.
- Use the edge of the blade to remove excess mortar and smooth the joint for a clean finish.
- Between tasks, wipe off the blade to prevent mortar build-up which can impair performance.
- After use, rinse (if possible), dry and store the trowel clean and ready for the next job.
Maintenance Guidance :
- Rinse the blade after each use to remove mortar or cement residue; wipe dry thoroughly to prevent corrosion.
- Store the trowel in a dry, clean place — avoid leaving it in damp conditions or exposed outdoors.
- Periodically inspect the handle and connecting rod; if any looseness or wear appears, tighten or replace as required.
- If the blade develops nicks or minor damage, lightly file or smooth the edge before the next job to maintain good performance.
- Avoid using the trowel for tasks beyond its intended purpose (such as prying heavy materials) to preserve blade alignment and longevity.
- For long-term storage, applying a light coat of oil on the steel blade helps prevent rust and ensures it stays ready for use.
