Operation

This model SPARKY power tool is supplied from single-
phase alternating current mains. It is double insulated
according to EN 60745, IEC 60745 and can be connect-
ed to grounded or not grounded sockets. This power tool
is radio suppressed in compliance with EMC Directive
2004/108/EC.
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 FRONT HANDLE
1. Hinge out the front handle lock lever (15) and move
the front handle to one of the four positions to suit
best the intended task. (Fig. 1)
2. Hinge back the lever (15) to secure the front handle

ADJUSTING THE PLANING DEPTH
WARNING: Always ensure that the machine
is switched off and unplugged from the power supply
before making adjustments or before installing or re-
moving blades.
1. Rotate the depth adjustment knob (3) clockwise for
a deeper cut and anti-clockwise for a shallower cut.
(Fig.4)
2. The numbers on the ring under the depth adjust-
ment knob indicate the depth of cut. For example
when "2" is next to the pointer on the front of the
planer, the depth of cut is 2 mm.
3. If it is necessary to plane to a precise depth, plane
a scrap piece of wood, measure the difference 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
before installing or removing blades.
Your planer is fitted 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 (19), loosen the five
clamping screws (11). (Fig.5)
2. Remove the planer blade (9) from the slot in the
blade barrel (10) in which it is retained. (Fig.6)
Installing a planer blade
1. Either turn over the planer blade (9) or replace it if
required.
2. Slide the good blade face up into the blade support
block of the blade barrel (10).
NOTE: If only one blade is damaged, it can be replaced
without the need to replace the other two blades. When
blades are worn, all three blades must be replaced as a
set to prevent unbalanced operation, dangerous vibra-
tion and possible damage of the power tool.
NOTE: The ridge along the blade should be on the blade
face on the opposite side to the clamping screws (11).
3. Tighten the clamping screws (11), ensuring they
