Festool HL 850 EB Mode D'emploi page 10

Pay attention to the following when
putting the HL 850 EB/HL 850 E
down:
- check that the support foot is present and
fully operational,
- wait until the planer shaft comes to a
standstill before putting the tool down.
If the support foot should be found obst-
ructive during special planing work it can
be swung back out of the way and locked
in position (2.8).
7 Working with the machine
The surface to be planed must be
free of metallic objects.
Always secure the workpiece in such
a manner that it cannot move while
being sawed.
The machine must always be held
with both hands by the designated
handles (1.3, 1.7).
Procedure
- First set The desired chip thickness.
- Place The front platen onto The workpiece
but do not allow The planer head to come
into contact with The wood.
- Switch on the planer.
- Guide The planer over The workpiece so
that The platen rests fl at on The workpi-
ece. Press on The front planer platen when
starting to plane and on The rear planer
platen (end of workpiece) when continuing
or fi nishing planing.
7.1 Rebating
The planer can rebate to an unlimited
depth.
To do this, fold away the protective cover
(2.5) by fi rst pushing the lever (1.5) for-
ward and then laterally to the left. The front
of the planer head is now exposed.
When work is completed, the protective
cover moves back automatically to initial
position through spring force.
7.2 Chamfering
The front planer platen is equipped with a
90° V groove (2.12) to allow the chamfering
of workpiece edges. This V groove is 2 mm
deep, thus producing a 2 mm edge chamfer
with the chip thickness setting 0.
7.3 Bench-mounted operation
The planer can be operated bench-mounted
in conjunction with the bench-mounting
device SE-HL. Detailed instructions are
supplied with the accessories.
7.4 Rustic planer heads (accesso-
ries)
The planer can also be used to create rustic
surfaces. Three rustic planer heads are
available for this purpose:
- HK 82 RG: creates a surface with a coarse
structure.
- HK 82 RG: creates a surface with a fi ne
structure.
- HK 82 RW: creates an uneven, wavy
surface.
The blades on the rustic planing head
(HK 82 RF, HK 82 RG, HK 82 RW)
protrude approx. 1.5 mm over
the planer foot. When using rustic planing
heads on the planer, set the cutting depth
to 0 mm. Otherwise there is a risk that the
blades on the head will cut into the planer
foot and destroy the planer.
The cutting depth limiter (6.2) prevents the
cutting depth from increasing inadvertently
while planing work is performed.
Always attach the cutting depth limiter to
the planer before working with a rustic
planing head:
- Set the cutting depth on the planer to 0
mm,
- Attach the cutting depth limiter by inser-
ting the rotary knob (6.1) through the
limiter and into the threaded hole (6.3).
