Machine Settings; Chip Thickness Adjustment - Festool HL 850 E Guide D'utilisation

temperature monitoring device is fi tted to
provide protection against overheating (burn-
ing-out of the motor). The electronic safety
device switches off the motor before a critical
motor temperature is reached. After a cooling
period of approx. 3-5 minutes, the machine
is once again ready for use at full load. If the
machine is kept running (idling), the cooling
period is reduced.
Do not work with the planer if the electronic
control is defective, since this may lead to ex-
cessive speeds. A defect in the electronic con-
trol is indicated by the absence of a smooth
run-up, a higher noise level at idle or the fact
that no speed control is possible.

Machine settings

Always disconnect the plug from
the power supply before making any adjust-
ments to the machine or installing or remov-
ing any accessory!

Chip thickness adjustment

After the interlock (2.2) has been released by
-
2.2 2.1
pushing it backward, the chip thickness can be
infi nitely adjusted between 0 mm and 3.5 mm
by turning the supplementary handle (2.3).
The chip thickness which has been set can be
2.3
read in the scale window (2.1). One division
corresponds to a chip removal of 0.1 mm.

If a constant chip thickness is to be set the
interlock must be pressed forward again after
the chip thickness has been adjusted. If the
chip thickness has to be varied during opera-
tion (fi tting work) the interlock should be left
open.
The supplementary handle can be turned
beyond the 0 mm mark to reach the P (=
Park) position, in which the spiral cutter is
completely retracted. This is, however, not
the case with the rustic planer heads.
Always ensure, therefore, that
when setting the machine down on a surface
the parking device (1.8) at the end of the
planer platen is correctly extended.
