Overall vibration levels (vector sum for three directions) measured in accordance with EN 60745: Vibration emission level (3 directions): ah < 2.5 m/s² Uncertainty K = 1,5 m/s² The emission values specified (vibration, noise) were measured in accordance with the test conditions stipulated in EN 60745 and are intended for machine comparisons. They are also used for making preliminary estimates regarding vibration and noise loads during operation. The emission values specified refer to the main applications for which the power tool is used. If the electric power tool is used for other applications, with other tools or is not maintained sufficiently prior to operation, however, the vibration and noise load may be higher when the tool is used. Take into account any machine idling times and downtimes to estimate these values more accurately for a specified time period. This may significantly reduce the load during the machine operating period.

General Safety Rules

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/ or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term „power tool“ in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. 2.2 Tool-specific safety rules - Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool down. An exposed cutter may engage the surface leading to possible loss of control and serious injury. - Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter may contact its own cord. Cutting a „live“ wire may make 10

Power supply and start-up

The mains voltage must correspond to the specification on the rating plate. To switch on, first press the switch lock (1.1) and then the switch (1.2) (press = ON, release = OFF).

as standard series. The planer head has inclined,

fitted cutters, which is why the cutters cannot be reground. Changing the planer head - Press and hold in the spindle lock (1.6). - Use the hexagon wrench (2.7) to open the screw (2.2). - Pull the planer head (2.6) from the shaft. - Clean the shaft of any deposits that may be present. - Mount a new planer head on the shaft. - Secure the new planer head with the clamping flange (2.4), shim (2.3) and screw (2.2). Tighten the screw (2.2) firmly.

The tool has full-wave electronics with the following features:

The smooth start-up ensures the router starts up jolt-free. Constant speed The pre-selected speed remains constant whether the machine is in operation or in neutral position.

Changing the cutters

- Use the hexagon wrench (1.4) to release the three screws (4.1) in the planer head. - Pull the spiral cutter (4.2) out of the planer head at the side. - Clean the support groove for the cutter. Important: To prevent corrosion on the planer head, the pH-value of the cleaning agent used must be between 4.5 and 8. - Push a new spiral cutter (4.2) with the labelled side aligned to the rear planer platen into the support groove of the planer head. - Use a guide rail (4.3) to align the cutter so that the front side is flush with the front and rear platen of the planer. - First tighten the middle screw, then the two outer screws (4.1).

After switching-off, the tool is electronically brought to a standstill in 1.5 – 2 seconds.

Always remove the power supply plug from the socket before carrying out any work on the machine.

Chip thickness adjustment - Open the lock (3.1) by pressing to the rear. - Set the chip thickness by turning the handle (3.2). The scale (3.3) indicates the set chip thickness. - Close the lock (3.1) by pressing to the front to lock the set chip thickness. The max. planing depth is 3.5 mm. So as no to overload the machine, we recommend that a maximum planing depth of 2.5 mm be set with a plane width > 40 mm. By turning the handle beyond the 0 mm marking, you reach position P = Park position. In position P, the planer head cutter is pulled back completely behind the planer platen. Important: This does not apply to the rustic planer heads.

Fitting the guides (partly accessories) Rebating depth guide FA-HL The rebating depth guide (2.1) is mounted in the threaded hole (2.14) on the front right of the machine. The stop can be infinitely adjusted to between 0 and 30 mm in accordance with the scale. The rebating depth which has been set can be read against the notch (2.13). Parallel guide PA-HL The parallel guide (2.11) is fitted in the threaded hole (2.9) on the left side of the tool. When planing along an edge a planing width of between 0 and 82 mm can be set with the stop after loosening the catch (2.10).

Planing head, planer blade

Use only cutters which are sharp and undamaged. Blunt cutters increase the danger of kick-back and reduce the planing quality obtained. The planer is equipped with planer head HK 82 SD 11

The machine must always be held with both hands by the designated handles

Angle stop WA-HL The angle stop is secured in the tapped bore (2.9) in the same way as the parallel stop.

- 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 flat on The workpiece. Press on The front planer platen when starting to plane and on The rear planer platen (end of workpiece) when continuing or finishing planing.

Always connect the machine to a dust extractor.

Chip removal is actuated via the rocker lever (5.2) either through the right (5.3) or left (5.4) opening.

A chip collection bag or extraction hose (dia. 36 mm) can be connected at both openings. Chip collecting bag SB-HL (accessories) The chip collecting bag is secured via adapter AD-HL (5.6). The adapter is attached by flap (5.5) to the lower edge of the chip removal opening and screwed in by means of rotary button (5.7) in the tapped bore (5.1).

Rebating The planer can rebate to an unlimited depth. To do this, fold away the protective cover (2.5) by first pushing the lever (1.5) forward 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.

An extraction hose (dia. 36 mm) can either be fitted directly in the chip removal opening, or in the adapter AD-HL for the chip collecting bag.

Putting the planer down When working with electric planers you must remember that the planer shaft continues to run for a few seconds after the tool is switched off. The HL 850 EB has a support foot (2.8) at the end of the platen so that it can be placed safely on a work surface. If the electric tool is taken up, the support foot automatically protrudes beyond the planer platen to ensure that the planer shaft is always raised above flat work surfaces when the planer is put down. Pay attention to the following when putting the HL 850 EB 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 obstructive during special planing work it can be swung back out of the way and locked in position (2.8).

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 (accessories) 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 fine 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

Working with the machine
