Working With The Electric Power Tool; Sawing Along The Scribe Mark - Festool HK 85 EB Notice D'utilisation D'origine

8 Working with the electric
power tool
When working on the machine, observe
all of the safety warnings that are listed
at the start as well as the following rules:
Before starting
– Do not work with the machine if the elec­
tronics are defective, because this may lead
to excessive speeds. You can tell if the
electronics are defective if there is no
smooth start-up or if it is not possible to
regulate the speed or where smoke is
present or if there is a smell of burning
coming from the machine.
Before each use, check that the pendulum
–
guard is working correctly using the re­
tractor lever [1-4]. Ensure that the pendu­
lum guard can move freely and does not
come into contact with the saw blade or
other parts at any cutting angle or depth.
Only use this power tool when it is in per­
fect working order.
– Make sure that the rotary knob [1-13] is
tightened before starting work.
– Position the workpiece so that it is stress-
free and level.
– Make sure that the extractor hose does not
snag the entire saw cut, either on the work­
piece, the workpiece support or hazards on
the ground.
During work
– When working, always hold the power tool
with both hands on the handles [1-1]. This
is a prerequisite for precise work and is es­
sential for plunge-cutting. Plunge into the
workpiece slowly and evenly.
– Only guide the power tool towards the
workpiece when it is switched on.
Always push the saw forwards [7-9], and
–
never towards yourself.
– Adapt the infeed speed to prevent the cut­
ters on the saw blade from overheating and
prevent plastic materials from melting dur­
ing cutting. The harder the material to be
sawn, the lower the feed speed needs to be.
8.1

Sawing along the scribe mark

The cut indicators display the cutting sequence
without a guide rail:
0° cuts: [6-1]
45° cuts: [6-2]
8.2 Cutting sections
Position the saw with the front part of the saw
table on the workpiece, switch on saw and push
forward in cutting direction.
8.3 Sawing cut-outs (plunge cuts)
In order to avoid kickbacks, the following
instructions must always be followed when
plunge cutting:
– Always position saw with the rear edge of
the saw table against a fixed stop.
– When working with the guide rail, place the
saw against the kickback stop FS-RSP (ac­
cessories) [7-7] clamped to the guide rail.
CAUTION
Danger of crushing
► Always keep a firm grip on the machine
with your free hand when adjusting plunge
cuts.
► Never position your fingers behind or be­
low the saw blade.
Procedure
► Adjusting cutting depth, see section 7.2.
► Press lever [7-1] down.
Sawing unit swivels upwards to plunge-cut
position.
► Hold retractor lever [7-2] downwards as far
as stop.
Pendulum guard [7-5] opens and the saw
blade is exposed.
► Position saw on workpiece and position
against a stop (kickback stop).
► Switch on saw.
► Slowly press down saw to the set cutting
depth until the saw engages, release re­
tractor lever [7-2] and push forward in cut­
ting direction [7-9].
The notch [7-4] indicates the absolute rear cut­
ting point of the saw blade (diameter 160 mm)
when using the saw at maximum cutting depth
with the guide rail.
8.4 Operation with an electric generator
(EG) driven by a combustion engine
Festool cannot guarantee that the power
tool will operate correctly in conjunction
with all EGs.
The power tool can be operated with an EG as
long as the following conditions are fulfilled:
– The EG's output voltage must remain in the
range 230 VAC ±10% and the EG must be
