HANDLE ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS
The SPS machines may be ordered with optional adjustable handlebars. The handlebars are
equippedwithahigh-densityvibrationsuppressionmaterialtominimizeoperatorfatigueand
increase comfort level when operating equipment.
To adjust the handlebars to a new position for different height operators please follow these steps:
Using a box wrench or socket,
loosen the bolts on both sides
of the handlebars two to three
turns only.
Use a hammer to lightly tap the
end of the bolts to move them
in slightly. (Tapping loosens the
tapered inner plug so they may
be easily re-positioned.)
Stand behind the machine and
set the bars to a comfortable
operating height.
Re-tighten the two bolts to lock
the handlebars in the new posi-
tion.
CAUTION: Neveroperatewithhandlebarsloose.
The bolts must be fastened tightly assuring the handle
is locked into position.

CUTTER SELECTION
CARBIDE or STEEL?
Whenconguringyourcutterdrumforremoval,oneofthemost
important questions to ask is: “Which cutter type do I use, carbide or steel?”
Tungstencarbidewillproduceasmoothersurfacenishifsetupproperlyand
Carbide also lasts longer. Professionals use carbide cutters to save time and money.

RIGHT WRONG
DRUM REMOVAL
With a socket wrench,
remove the two,
Left-Handed hex nuts
(located behind the
belt guard).
Tilt the machine forward
only to prevent the engine
cylinders from being
oodedwithoil.
Slide out the drive shaft
and take the drum to a work-
bench for cutter loading.
CUTTER SET-UP
Remove one retaining plate (ILL# 2, pg. 15, or ILL# 3, pg. 16) and load the cutters and spacers on
each shaft using the cutter charts (pg. 13-14) as a guide.
Make certain that the drum is balanced. An unbalanced drum is unsafe and may cause excessive
vibration, damage bearings, break shafts and reduce cutter life.
After loading the cutters, re-fasten the retaining ring and load the drum onto the machine. Lube the
driveshaftandpositionthecutterdrumrmlyonthedriverstudswhileslidingthedrumshaftcarefully
back into position. Fasten the two Left-Handed nuts securely.
TIP:Loadcutterswithoutspacersforasmoothnish.
Offset or align carbide-spiked cutters for grooving, surface leveling,
or removing. And ALWAYS load the special milling cutters in the
samedirection,withthecarbideedgecuttingrst,andspacedwith
at least one spacer (see page 13 for details). There should be
1/8” - 1/4” play on each section of cutter shaft.

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 gas tank and then place the throttle lever at the “Fast Idle” position.
Starttheengine,openchokeslightlytopreventooding.Movethrottlecontroltoopenorrun
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
SPS8 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.
*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 Safety Stop 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.
*Engine repair and engine warranty issues are handled directly by
your local Honda engine service center.

SUBSTRATE REMOVAL
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,backwardand/orcircularpatterntoachieveyourdesirednish.
NOTE: Only use a forward motion when using the CM2150™ or CM2535™ carbide milling cutters.
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.
Whenthejobiscompleted,ortheoperatorwantstoceasework,stoptheenginebyrstliftingthe
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 pos-
sible weld separation. Replace the cutter shafts and drum bushings every 40 hours, or prior to any
drum wear (65050 Drum only). If the drum’s center holes are elongated, replace only with a SMITH
cutter drum.
