Operation
This model SPARKY power tool is supplied from single-
phase alternating current mains.It is double insulated ac-
cording to EN 60745, IEC 60745 and can be connected
to grounded or not grounded sockets. This power tool
is radio suppressed in compliance with EMC Directive.
PRIOR TO INITIAL OPERATION
Make sure power supply voltage corresponds to the
value indicated on the name plate with technical data
of the tool.
Make sure the cord and the plug are in order. If the
replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has
to be done by the manufacturer or his agent in order
to avoid a safety hazard.
ADJUSTING THE PLANING DEPTH
WARNING: Always ensure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged from the power supply
before making adjustments, installing or removing
blades.
1. Rotate the depth adjustment knob (3) clockwise for
a shallower cut and anti-clockwise for a deeper cut.
(Fig.1)
2. The numbers on the ring under the depth adjustment
knob indicate the depth of cut.
3. If it is necessary to accurately determine the depth of
cut, plane a scrap piece of wood, measure the differ-
ence in thickness and adjust the setting if necessary.
WARNING: Always ensure that the number
on the ring is at the “0” position when the tool is not in
use; at this position, the blade can not cut the work-
piece.
REMOVING AND INSTALLING PLANER
BLADES
WARNING: Always ensure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged from the power supply be-
fore installing or removing blades.
Your planer is itted with reversible blades. Blades can be
reversed when blunt. After both sides of the blades have
been used they should be discarded.
NOTE:
These blades cannot be re-sharpened.
REMOVING A PLANER BLADE
WARNING: The blades are very sharp. Take
care when handling them.
1. Using the supplied spanner (13), loosen the three
clamping bolts (17).
2. Remove the planer blade (16) and the blade support
from the holding shaft. (Fig.2)
INSTALLING A PLANER BLADE
1. Either turn over the planer blade (16) or replace it if
required.
2. Take the new blade and position it between the blade
support block and the blade holder.
NOTE:
The ridge along the blade should be on the blade
face on the opposite side to the clamping bolts (17).
3. Tighten the clamping bolts (17), ensuring they are
tightened evenly. First tighten the two outside clamp
-
ing bolts, and then tighten the middle bolt.
4. Repeat for the remaining blade.
NOTE:
Always change both blades at the same time,
otherwise the resulting imbalance can cause vibration
and shorten the blade and tool life.
WARNING: When installing blades, first clean
out all chips or foreign matter adhering to the blade
barrel (15) and the blades themselves. Use blades
of the same dimensions and weight, or the barrel will
oscillate and vibrate causing poor planing action and
possibly a machine breakdown. Tighten the clamping
bolts (17) carefully when attaching the blades to the
planer. A loose clamping bolt could be extremely dan-
gerous. Regularly check to see if they are tightened
securely.
