2 Correct use
The EHL 65 E planer together with the available
Festool accessories is designed for processing
wood, soft plastics and similar materials.
3 Before starting
3.1 Safety instructions
Please read the safety instructions on
the enclosed sheet before starting
work.
• check the tight fit of the cutter
• check that all tool keys have been removed.
3.2 Noise and vibration figures
The values typical for the device measured
according to EN 50144 are
Sound level
Rated acceleration
During work with the planer the sound
level at the place of work may exceed
85 dB(A), in such cases noise
protection measures (ear muffs) are
necessary for the operator
4 Electrical
commissioning
The supply voltage must comply with
the voltage given on the ratings plate!
To switch on, first press the switch lock (2.5)
and then the switch (2.4).
(Press = ON, Release = OFF).
5 Electronic control
The EHL 65 E is fitted with a full-wave
electronic control with the following
functions:
Do not work with the EHL 65 E if the
electronic control is defective, since this
may lead to excessive speeds.
A defect in the electronic control is indicated
by the absence of a smooth run-up or a higher
noise level at idle.
•Smooth run-up
The electronically-controlled smooth run-up
ensures that the machine starts without
jolts.
•Idling speed / Constant speed
The electronics limit the idling speed. This is
automatically adjusted by the electrics under
load so that the noise level also remains low
under load.

•Temperature protection
Extreme overload in continuous running will
cause the motor to overheat. An electronic
temperature monitoring device is fitted to
provide protection against overheating
(burning-out of the motor). The electronic
safety device switches off the motor before
a critical motor temperature is reached. Af-
ter a cooling period of approx. 3-5 minutes,
the machine is once again ready for use at
full load. If the machine is kept running
(idling), the cooling period is reduced.
6 Chip thickness adjustment
The planing depth can be adjusted by turning
the rotary knob (2.1).
(Turn to the right = larger planing depth, Turn
to the left = smaller planing depth).
The planing depth which has been set can be
read at the mark (2.3) for the rotary knob
scale (2.2).
Adjustment by one scale mark corresponds
to a change in planing depth of 0.1 mm.
The max. planing depth is 4 mm. So as no to
overload the machine, we recommend that a
maximum planing depth of 2.5 mm be set with
a plane width > 40 mm.
7 Changing cutters
Use only cutters which are sharp and
undamaged. Blunt cutters increase the
danger of kick-back and reduce the
planing quality obtained.
Always disconnect the mains plug
from the socket before changing
the cutter.
Loosen the locking screw (2.9) by approx. 2
revolutions with the Allan key (2.6) and remove
the cutter from the cutter shaft. Clean the
cutter slot before inserting the new cutter to
ensure a correct fit.
Then insert the new cutter (Order No. 488
503) into the groove with the printed side facing
the rear planer platen (2.8).
Before tightening the locking screws (2.9) align
the cutter with a ruler so that its front edge
(1.13) is flush with the sides of the front (1.12)
and rear (1.14) planer platens.
Then tighten first the central locking screw,
followed by the two outer screws.
8 Dust extraction and chip ejection
The standard equipment for the planer
includes devices to enable the planer
to be used with both the chip collecting
bag (1.1, Order No. 488 566) or a
suction hose (1.2) connected to a dust
extractor.
The connector for dust extraction can be fitted
on either side of the tool. To change sides,
press the toggle lever (1.11) down firmly.
This releases the lug on the outer edge of the
casing and the adapter (1.4) can be pushed
through the casing (Fig. 3).
