Operation
This model SPARKY power tool is supplied from single-
phase alternating current mains. It is double insulated
according to EN 60745-1, IEC 60745 and can be con
-
nected to grounded or not grounded sockets. This power
tool is radio suppressed in compliance with EMC Direc-
tive 2004/108/EC.
This SPARKY triple blade planer has an Vertical Center
of Gravity (VCG). It positions the weight of the motor
above the blade barrel enabling easier, smoother plan-
ing and hence a better finish. Also, the design allows the
chips to flow freely out of the rear section of the planer
unlike conventional.
PRIOR TO INITIAL OPERATION
WARNING:
Make sure the power supply volt-
age corresponds to the value indicated on the name
plate with technical data of the appliance.
▪ 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.
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 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
1. Using the supplied spanner (17), loosen the three
clamping screws (11).
(Fig. 1)
2. Slide the planer blade (9) from the slot in the blade
barrel (10) in which it is retained.
(Fig. 2)
INSTALLING A PLANER BLADE
1. Either turn over the planer blade (9) or replace it if re
-
quired.
2. Slide the good blade face up into the blade support
block of the blade barrel (10).
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 are
tightened evenly.
4. Repeat for the two remaining blades.
NOTE.
Always change the three blades at the same
time, otherwise the resulting imbalance can cause vibra-
tion and shorten the blade and tool life.
NOTE.
Blade position has been aligned before going out
from manufactory, so do not adjust the three inner hex
screws on blade supporter.

WARNING:
When installing blades, first clean
out all chips or foreign matter adhering to the blade
barrel (10) 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
screws (11) carefully when attaching the blades to the
planer. A loose clamping screw could be extremely
dangerous. Regularly check to see they are tightened
securely.
NOTE.
Your planing surface will end up rough and un-
even unless the blades are set properly and securely.
The blades must be mounted so that the cutting edge
is absolutely level, i.e. parallel to the surface of the rear
base (13).
The examples below show proper and improper settings:
▪
Correct setting
:
(Fig. 2)
▪
Clean smooth cut
:
(Fig. 4)
▪
Nicks in surface
– as caused by the edge of one or
more blades not being parallel to the rear base line.
(Fig. 5)
▪
Gouging at start
– as caused by the edge of one or
more blades not protruding enough in relation to the
rear base line.
(Fig. 6)
▪
Gouging at end
– as caused by the edge of one or
more blades protruding too far in relation to the rear
base line.
