which has been set can be read against the notch (5.3) in the housing.

b) Parallel guide

The parallel guide (6.2) is fitted in the threaded hole (6.1) next to the rear planer platen .

This same point can be used to mount the swivelling angle guide WA-HL, available as an accessory.

Dust extraction and

chip ejection

The planer is equipped as standard with a connection for chip and dust extraction.

The shift lever (7.2) can be used to select chip ejection (7.3) via the left- hand or right- hand ejector aperture. Both these ejector apertures allow the fitting of either a chip collection bag SB-HL or a Festool 36 mm dia. suction hose.

The chip collection bag SB-HL is connected by means of an adapter (7.5). The adapter (included in the scope of delivery of the SB- HL) is fitted by inserting its lug (7.4) into the lower edge of the chip ejector and is secured by means of the screw (7.6) in the threaded hole (7.1). The 36 mm dia. suction hose can be fitted either by clamping it directly into the chip ejector aperture or by inserting it into the adapter in the SB-HL.

If used with materials which pro- duce hazardous dusts the electric tool should be connected to a suitable extractor.

Working with the machine

The surface to be planed must be free of metallic objects. Never plane over screws, nails, etc.

When using the rustic planer heads (HK 82 RF, HK 82 RG, HK 82 RW) work with setting 0 mm since the rustic cutters automatically project 1.5 mm beyond the planer platen.

The planer is equipped with two handles to enable it to be guided precisely. 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 and bring it into contact with the workpiece by pressing lightly on the supplementary handle (1.7).
