WARNING
Risk of injury
- Remove the battery pack from the power tool before performing any work on the power tool.
8.1 Electronics
The power tool features full-wave electronics with the following properties:
Temperature cut-out
The power tool switches off if a certain temperature is exceeded. To restart the power tool, turn the on/off switch off and back on again. If the power tool does not start and an acoustic signal sounds, the power tool has overheated, see 9.1.
Brake
The power tool has an electronic brake. After switching off, the spiral blade is electronically braked to a standstill in approx. two seconds.
8.2 Festool app\*
The power tool can be configured with the Festool app. To do this, the battery pack used must be a Bluetooth® battery pack.
The battery pack is connected via Bluetooth ^® , see the operating manual for the battery pack.
* Not available in all countries.
8.3 Setting the chip depth
▶ Set the chip depth using the rotary knob [1-8].

more chip removal less chip removal

The marking [1-7] indicates the chip removal set on the scale [1-9] of the rotary knob.

Moving up/down the scale by one mark changes the chip removal by approx. 0.1 mm.
8.4 Changing the spiral blade [3]
![FESTOOL HLC 82 EB - Changing the spiral blade [3] - 1](/content/2026/04/738348/images/4b2a62dfb581dfce6bc6e580fc175a46aa289857c840a8e77adfe03a4411b96c.jpg)
WARNING
Risk of kickback due to worn spiral blade
▶ Only use sharp and undamaged spiral blades.


CAUTION
Hot and sharp insertion tool
Risk of injury
▶ Do not use blunt or faulty insertion tools.
- Wear protective gloves when handling an insertion tool.
▶ Lotten the three clamping screws on the planing head [3-1] with the hex key.
▶ Remove the spiral blade.
▶ Clean the groove of the blade holder.
▶ Insert the new spiral blade with the labelled side facing the rear planer foot.
▶ Align the spiral blade towards the rebate side using the ruler so that the face is flush with the side edges of the front and rear planer foot.
▶ Tighten the central clamping screw and then tighten the remaining clamping screws.

A spiral blade that protrudes outwards or is set back inwards on the front side distorts the rebate width.
8.5 Dust extraction

WARNING
Heath hazard posed by dust
▶ Observe the national regulations.
▶ Always connect a suitable mobile dust extractor in accordance with national regulations when planing carcinogenic substances.
Festool mobile dust extractor [4A]
▶ Attach the elbow connector [4-3] to the extractor connector [4-4].
- Attach the adapter of a suction hose [4-2] with a diameter of 27 mm to the elbow connector [4-3]. Attach the adapter of a suction hose [4-2] with a diameter of 36 mm to the elbow connector [4-3].
Festool recommends a suction hose diameter of 36 mm due to the lower risk of clogging.
CAUTION! A static charge may build up if no antistatic suction hose is used. The user may receive an electric shock and the power tool's electronics may be damaged.
The extractor can be connected on both sides of the power tool:
▶ Press the small lever [4-1] firmly downwards.
▶ Pull out the long chip channel [4-5] on the opposite side [4B].
- Insert the long chip channel with the small lever facing forwards into the housing opening as far as it will go [4C].
By turning the elbow connector [4-3], the chip flight can be directed as needed.
Without dust extraction [5]
If it is not possible to use the Festool mobile dust extractor, e.g. for space reasons, the short chip channel [5-1] can be used. Insert this with the long section facing downwards and the short section facing upwards.

9.2 Putting the planer down

WARNING
Risk of injury
The planing head continues to run for a few seconds after it has been switched off.
- Use the power tool only with fully functional support foot [1-12].
▶ Wait until the planing head comes to a standstill.
The power tool has a support foot [1-12] at the end of the planer foot to safely place the planer down. When the power tool is lifted up, the support foot automatically extends over the foot of the planer so that the spiral blade does not touch the surface when the power tool is placed down on a flat surface.
9.3 Chamfering [6]
To chamfer workpiece edges, the front planer foot has three 90° V-shaped grooves [6-1]. These V-shaped grooves are 3 mm, 2 mm or 1 mm deep, so that when the chip thickness is set to 0, the edge is broken by approximately 3 mm, 2 mm or 1 mm.
