Adjusting The Cutting Depth; Adjusting The Cutting Angle; Adjust Pendulum Guard; Changing The Saw Blade - Festool HKC 55 EB Manual De Instrucciones

Restart protection
The integral restart protection prevents the electric
power tool from automatically starting up again af-
ter 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 lev-
el, the machine power supply and speed are
capped. The power tool continues operating at re-
duced power to allow the ventilator to cool the mo-
tor rapidly. The power tool resumes to full perfor-
mance automatically once the motor has cooled
sufficiently.
