Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Amtech G1450 plastering hawk comes pre-assembled. The handle can be detached by unscrewing the central fitting. Reattach by aligning the handle with the central screw and tightening securely.
Compatibility: This tool is designed for use with standard plaster, render, and mortar mixes. It is compatible with most plastering trowels for material transfer.
Care: To maintain the hawk's performance and longevity:
- Clean Immediately: After each use, remove all residual plaster or mortar. Dried plaster can be difficult to remove and may damage the surface.
- Wash Thoroughly: Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe down the surface and edges. For stubborn residue, a soft brush can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the aluminium.
- Dry Completely: Ensure the hawk is completely dry before storing to prevent corrosion or mildew.
- Store Safely: Store in a dry place, away from harsh chemicals. The detachable handle can be removed for more compact storage.
