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
When exceeding a certain engine temperature
level, the machine power supply and speed are
capped. The power tool continues operating at
reduced power to allow the ventilator to cool
the motor rapidly. The power tool resumes to
full performance automatically once the motor
has cooled sufficiently.
