Extension Cord; Settings - Festool HK 55 EQ Manual De Instrucciones

English
Pressing the switch-on lock unlocks the
plunging mechanism. The saw unit can
then be moved downwards. This causes the saw
blade to emerge from the protective cover.

Extension Cord

If an extension cord is required, it must have
sufficient cross-section to prevent an excessive
drop in voltage or overheating. An excessive
drop in voltage reduces the output and can lead
to failure of the motor. The table below shows
you the correct cord diameter as a function of
the cord length for this tool.

Use only U.L. and CSA listed extension cords.
Never use two extension cords together. In­
stead, use one long one.
The lower the AWG number, the
stronger the cord.

8.1 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 [1-16] (see Technical data). This enables
you to optimise the cutting speed to suit specific
surfaces (see table).
Material
Solid wood (hard,
soft)
Chipboard and hard­
board
Laminated wood,
blockboard, veneered
and laminated panels
Plastics, fibre-rein­
forced plastics (FRP),
paper and mesh
Acrylic glass
Gypsum and cement-
bonded fibreboard
Aluminium panels
and profiles up to
15 mm
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.
Restart protection
The integral restart protection prevents the
electric power tool from automatically starting
up again after an interruption in power when
the ON/OFF switch is pressed. In this case the
electric power tool must be switched off and
then switched back on again.
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.
