• 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.
• Always make sure that main
fuel valve is turned OFF when
storing machine.
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

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 (9/16”), 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.
Loosen to
adjust
HYDROSTATIC OPERATION
Check to insure the hydrostatic drive system
is in neutral. The control lever should be in the
middle position and the wheels should not be
turning. Lower the unit by moving the Cutter
Height Adjustment T-Handle into position. This
will raise the carriage wheels off the ground and
set the unit onto the drive wheels. At this point
the unit can be propelled forward or in reverse
by moving the drive lever either forward or
backward. The Fine-Adjustment Knob may be
used to make small corrections in height. The
“live” axle will tend to move the unit in a straight
line, however both hands are required on the
handle for safe operation and minor directional
corrections. For more aggressive directional
changes or repositioning requirements, simply
reengage the lift carriage by using the Height
Adjustment T-Handle.
RUN SPEED for Diamond Cutters is wide
open (3200 rpm) .
The Max RUN SPEED for Drums is 1100 rpm
(lower may be used).
Engine must be warmed up and at RUN SPEED.

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 propane tank supply,
then lock the throttle lever at the “Fast Idle”
position. Start the engine, then, move throttle
control to open or run position when engine
is warmed up. Increase throttle to maximum
operating position (approx. 2800RPM) and
close choke. Before substrate removal, test run
the drum with cutters not touching the surface.
If there is excessive vibration, 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: In the event
of a malfunction or an accident (such as the
machine operator falling or losing footing), the
FS351SP 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 run-
ning.
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 fuel 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) Turn the On/Off switch, on the Control
Panel, to “On”.
4) 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).
*Engine repair and engine warranty
issues are handled directly
by your local engine service center.

SUBSTRATE REMOVAL
Adjust the height of the cutter drum with the
Hand Wheel and T-Handle. (Turn the hand
wheel to raise the cutter drum off of the
substrate. Lower or raise the T-Handle to
engage or disengage the drum after setting
the proper cutter depth.)
Set the depth 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 directions, 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 T-Handle. Stop the
machine only at the engine. Then close the
Propane Supply Valve on the tank 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 every 40 hours, or prior to any
drum wear. If the drum’s center holes are
elongated, order another SMITH cutter drum.

MAINTENANCE CHECK LIST
Note: Make sure the ignition is in the OFF
position, and spark plugs are disconnected
before servicing
• Maintain proper engine oil and crankcase
levels.
Change every 25-50 hours
(see Subaru 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 locktite.
• Check the Drive and Hydraulic belts for wear,
and adjust (tension), or replace as required.
After replacing belts, check for proper tension:
• Check that the pulleys are aligned properly
to ensure the Drive and Hydraulic belts are
running true.
• 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.
• Ensure Hydraulic uid level reservoir is lled
to the proper level and inspect ttings for
leaks. Tighten as necessary.
The hydraulic uid for the hydraulic drive pump
should be chemically stable and incorporate
rust and oxidation inhibitors.
Specic uid type meeting these requirements:
*Non-Detergent SAE 20W-20 Motor Oil
Note: If the natural color of the uid has become
black or milky, it is possible that an overheating
or water contamination problem exists. For ac-
curate level readings, take readings when uid
is cold.
FRONT WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
The front wheels can be adjusted independently.
1. Loosen, but don’t remove the 4 nuts
holding the wheel to be adjusted
2. Adjust wheel height as needed using height
adjustment bolt.
3. Tighten all nuts to secure wheel into
position.
