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 fl ap (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).

Extraction hose
An extraction hose (dia. 36 mm) can either be fi t-

ted 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 fl at work surfaces when the

planer is put down.

Pay attention to the following when put-

ting 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).

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 workpiece. 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) 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.

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 produc-

ing 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 sur-

faces. Three rustic planer heads are available for

this purpose:

- HK 82 RG: creates a surface with a coarse struc-

ture.

- HK 82 RG: creates a surface with a fi ne struc-

ture.

- 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 ap-

prox. 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 inserting the
