WARNING
Risk of injury, electric shock
► Always disconnect the mains plug from the
socket before performing any work on the
machine.
7.1 Electronics
Smooth start-up
The electronically controlled smooth start-up
function ensures that the power tool starts up
smoothly.
Speed control
You can continuously adjust the speed within
the speed range using the adjusting
wheel [1-17] (see "Technical data"). This ena­
bles you to optimise the cutting speed to suit
each surface.
Speed range per material
Solid wood (hard, soft)
Chipboard and hardboard
Laminated wood, blockboard, veneered
and laminated panels
Laminate, mineral materials
Plaster- and cement-bonded chipboard
and fibreboard
Aluminium panels and profiles up to
15 mm
Plastics, fibre-reinforced plastics, paper
and fabric
Acrylic glass
Current limiting
Current limiting prevents excessive current
consumption under extreme overload, which
can lead to a decrease in the motor speed. The
motor immediately restarts after the load is re­
moved.
Brake
The HK 85 EB comes with an electronic brake.
The saw blade is stopped electronically within
approximately two seconds of switching off the
machine.
Temperature cut-out
The power supply is restricted and the speed
reduced if the motor exceeds a certain temper­
ature. The power tool continues operating at re­
duced power to allow the ventilator to cool the
motor quickly. The power tool starts up again
automatically once the motor has cooled suffi­
ciently.

7.3

Adjusting the cutting angle

The saw table must be on an even surface
when adjusting the cutting angle.
Between 0° and 60°:
► Open knob [3-2].
6
► Swivel sawing unit to the desired cutting an­
3–6
gle [3-1].
► Close knob [3-2].
6
Both positions (0° and 60°) are set at the
factory and can be readjusted by the after-
4–6
sales service team.
1–3
For angled cuts, the cutting depth is
smaller than the value displayed on the
4–6
cutting depth scale.
7.4

Adjust pendulum guard

3–5
Risk of injury! Sharp edges! The pendu­
lum guard swings back quickly in the
4–5
event of sudden release.
The pendulum guard [1-6] must only be opened
with the retractor lever [1-4].
7.5 Selecting the saw blade
Festool saw blades are identified by a coloured
ring. The colour of the ring represents the ma­
terial for which the saw blade is suited.
WARNING! Risk of injury! Pendulum hood
mechanism not working correctly! Diamond
