Description
The Festool electric planer HL 850 EB not only carries out standard planing
tasks, such as smooth planing of surfaces or edge trimming, but can do a
lot more.
The superior technical feature of this planer is the planer head mounted on
one side. This enables users to gouge out rebates to practically any depth.
The example provided here describes how the HL 850 is used to create a
rebate.

Procedure
Set the cut depth to 1 mm.•
During the first work step, guide the planer so that the parallel stop is•
exactly adjacent to the workpiece. The first work step is decisive for the
fitting accuracy of the rebate!
From the second work step, the edge of the planer foot is placed against
the rebate edge. The parallel stop is therefore only necessary at the start of
planing and can then be removed.
Ensure that the edge of the planer foot is always guided exactly along the•
rebate edge.
When the rebate depth stop is against the workpiece, the set rebate depth
has been reached.
Finished rebate.
If the rebate depth stop is not used, rebates with endless depths can be
planed.
