VERSION 5/2014
FS150
The FS050 and FS150 are heavy duty commercial grade removal attachments connected to a
light duty consumer grade right angle electric or pneumatic 3000 RPM polisher/sander in an effort
to produce an affordable entry level scarifier for small jobs and detail surface preparation work.
These systems will only operate to the limit of their weakest component. Using the unit as a recip-
rocating hammer or similar demolition tool will result in the failure of the polisher/sander.
Improper operation will result in repeated replacement of the polisher/sander and unacceptable
downtime.
Operational Guidelines:
11
Before use:
1. Read all manuals and practice safety before
during and after operation. Only authorized,
experienced and properly trained personnel
should operate this equipment.
2. Always wear personal safety equipment such
as sturdy non-slip boots, ear protection, dust
mask and approved eye protection.
3. Do not operate this equipment in an environ-
ment where any explosive gases may be
present, or where the risk of fire or explosion
may exist.
4. Use an approved dust collection system and
incorrect use of the dust collector or breathing
dust can result in property damage, personal
injury, or death.
5. Never allow the rotating heads to come in
contact with the operator or bystander.
During Use:
6. Operate only with approved sanders at a con-
stant maximum speed of 3,000 RPM.
7. Bring unit to operating speed prior to applying
to work surface.
8. Remove or prep surface in shallow passes at a
maximum of 1/8” per pass (or less), depending
upon surface hardness and condition.
9. Allow only the carbide cutters to contact the
work surface. Avoid allowing the unit to repeat-
edly bounce or rebound off the work surface.
10. The rotational speed of the cutting head
should remain constant during operation,
avoid allowing the motor to bog or slow down
due to aggressive action by the operator as
this will cause the unit to overheat and place
excessive loads on the polisher/sander.
11. Do not operate if any component is loose or
the motor appears hot or not operating at
peak performance.
After use:
12. Disconnect from power supply prior to servic-
ing this equipment
13. Any warranty issues with the sander/polisher
must be handled directly with manufacturer
of the sander/polisher. Separate the FS150
from the sander/polisher when handling war-
ranty issues with the manufacturer.
14. For larger scale removal projects or jobs,
SMITH recommends moving to one of our
commercial grade upright scarifiers for supe
-
rior removal speeds and less downtime.
