UNCRATING EQUIPMENT
When you uncrate your equipment, make certain
that the machine has not been damaged and
that all fasteners and guards are properly
tightened.
Your machine may not have been shipped
assembled with cutters and other accessories.
Assembly may be required.
REMEMBER: Only authorized, experienced and
properly trained personnel should operate this
equipment. Operating personnel should prac-
tice safety at all times and ear protective gear
(gloves, goggles, safety vests, ear plugs, steel-
toe shoes, etc.)
• Always wear protective equipment, including
ear protection and goggles.
• Never wear baggy or loose tting clothing that
can be caught on controls or moving parts.
• The surface preparator can emit ying
particles and debris during operation. Never
operate the machine near bystanders, animals
or children.
• Check uid levels and get acquainted with the
controls.
• Do not operate the machine in an explosive
atmosphere, near combustible materials, or
when gas fumes may not be properly dispersed.
• Never leave the machine unattended when
running, and you must hold onto the handle with
two hands when the cutter drum is engaged.
• Ensure that all guards are in place before the
machine is operated, since rotating and moving
parts will cause injury upon contact.
• Make sure that the machine is unplugged from
any power source before servicing.
Incorrect use of the surface planer can
result in property damage, personal injury,
or death. Be sure to read and follow all
directions and precautions as outlined in
this manual.

HANDLE BAR ADJUSTMENT
The handlebars are equipped with a high-density
vibration suppression material to minimize
operator fatigue and increase comfort level when
operating equipment. To adjust the handlebars
to a new position for different height operators
please follow these steps:
• Using a wrench or socket (13mm), loosen
the bolts on both sides of the handlebars
two to three turns only.
• Adjust handlebar to desired position and
re-tighten the 4 screws
Never operate with handlebars loose.
The bolts must be fastened tightly assuring
the handle is locked into position.

MACHINE START-UP
Do not start machine while drum is in
contact with the ground. Doing so can
cause the operator to lose control of the
machine, resulting in property damage
and/or personal injury.
NOTE: Do not attempt to raise or lower the cam
lever by force. If it does not move effortlessly,
raise or lower the hand wheel until the cam lever
can be adjusted. Open the fuel cock on the
carburator and then place the throttle lever at the
“Fast Idle” position. Start the engine, open choke
slightly to prevent ooding. Move throttle control
to open or run position when engine is warmed
up. Increase throttle to maximum operating posi-
tion (approx. 2800RPM) and close choke. Before
substrate removal, test run the drum with cutters
not touching the surface. If there is excessive vi-
bration, you need to re-balance the cutter set-up,
check bearing condition, and/or make sure that
the drive shaft is secured.
Corded “Engine Kill” Button (not available
on electric motor): In the event of a malfunc-
tion or an accident (such as the machine op-
erator falling or losing footing), the SPS10 is
equipped with a corded “Engine Kill” Button.
Attach the end of the cord to the operator’s
belt or wrist, and snap the clip into place on
the stop switch by raising the top of the Engine
Kill Button and inserting the clip into the gap.
If the operator becomes distanced too far from
the machine, the cord will detach from the stop
switch, and the machine will stop running.
Attatch to
operator
*NOTE: the Engine will not start without the
Corded Engine Kill’s clip securely in place.
CAUTION: The machine will still move with
the engine off.
IF THE ENGINE DOES NOT
START
1) Check Engine for proper gas and oil levels
(refer to Engine manual)
2) Check spark plug. Make sure the socket
areas are clean and clear of debris, and that
the proper gap is set. (Replace if needed).
3) Check Brown Electrical clip hanging on the
front of the engine and ensure that the
electrical wires are making contact within the
clip.
4) Turn the On/Off switch, on the front of the
Engine, to “On”.
5) Check Corded Engine Kill Button’s
Connections:
a) Make sure the Corded Safety Stop “C”
Connector is dipped properly.
b) Try switching the connection to the opposite
post (From letter “C” to letter “M”, for example).
6) Engine may have tilted backwards. If so,
allow oil to drain after removing spark plug and
pulling starter cord several times
*Engine repair and engine warranty
issues are handled directly
by your local engine service center.

SUBSTRATE REMOVAL
Warning: Should you desire to tilt the
machine, always tilt forward. Tilting the
machine backwards at any time will ood
the spark plug with oil and may cause
damage to your engine!
Adjust the height of the cutter drum with
the Hand Wheel and Cam Lever. (Turn the
hand wheel to raise the cutter drum off of the
substrate. Lower or raise the cam lever to
engage or disengage the drum after setting
the proper cutter depth.)
Set the deoth of cut to allow the cutters to go
through only the materials to be removed.
Make certain that the drum is positioned to
where only the cutters strike the surface,
and that the drum assembly never comes
into contact with the substrate. The cutter
tips alone should strike the surface (1/8”
to 1/4” maximum depth per removal pass on
new cutters).
The drum will not withstand substrate
contact. Contacting the removal surface
too deeply will cause premature wear to
cutters, shafts, drum and other
components!
Too much downward pressure only has
negative results. Try to remove materials in
several passes rather than one, deep pass.
Several tests will show the best, most
appropriate cutter impact. Use a forward,
backward and/or circular pattern to achieve
your desired nish.
NOTE: Only use a forward motion when the
CM2150 or CM2550 carbide milling cutters
are used.
TIP: Positioning the machine over the
surface in many direrctions, as well as
dialing the hand wheel up or down can help
create desirable surface patterns.
After several hours of practice, the operator
will become comfortable and should be able
to remove materials faster with enhanced
results.
When the job is completed, or the operator
wants to cease work, stop the engine by rst
lifting the drum above the substrate using the
hand-wheel and/or the cam lever. Stop the
machine only at the engine. Then close the
fuel cock to shut off the fuel supply.
The drum assembly must be removed daily
and inspected for drum wear, hole
elongation and possible weld separation.
Replace the cutter shafts and drum bushings
every 40 hours, or prior to any drum wear. If
the drum’s center holes are elongated, oreder
another SMITH cutter drum.

STORAGE
Shut off fuel valve and remove all fuel or
add fuel stabilizer. Start engine and run until
it stalls. Remove spark plug and pour two
ounces of motor oil into cylinder and slowly
crank the engine by hand to distribute oil to
prevent rust during storage.Replace spark
plug and store machine upright in a cool, dry,
and well-ventilated area.

MAINTENANCE CHECK LIST
Note: Make sure the ignition is in the OFF
position, and the spark plug is disconnected
before servicing
• Maintain proper engine oil and crankcase
levels.
Change every 25-50 hours
(see Honda manual).
• Clean spark plugs regularly, and set the
proper gap.
• Wash the air cleaner element in a non oil-
based solvent, then squeeze out residue.
Allow lter to dry before reinstalling in cleaner.
• Keep a coating of grease on the drive shaft
and threads for easy installation or removal,
and for longer hex bushing life.
• Check all fasteners and re-tighten, since the
machine will vibrate the fasteners loose if they
are not secured. Use locktight.
• Check the Drive belt for wear, and adjust
(tension), or replace as required.
After replacing belts, check for proper tension:
• Adjust Idler to tension belt. Do not over
tighten.
• Check that the pulleys are aligned properly
to ensure the belts are running true.
10
• The inside housing must be clean, and
remove any build-up from inside the cage so
cutters and drum rotate freely.
• Inspect and change drum bushings and
shafts every 40 hours, or when worn.
