KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A
SAFE PLACE.
Work Area Safety
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquid, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks,
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
Electrical Safety
Earthed tools must be plugged into an outlet
properly installed and earthed in accordance
with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the
earthing prong or modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adaptor plugs. Check with a qualied
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly earthed. If the tools should
electrically malfunction or break down, earthing
provides a low resistance path to carry electricity
away from the user.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrig-
erators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
Don’t abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry
the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, only use
authorized cords for outdoor work. These cords are
rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric
shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use an earth leakage circuit breaker.
Use of an earth leakage circuit breaker reduces the
risk of electric shock.
Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use tool while tired or under the inuence
of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hardhat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is o-po-
sition before connecting to power source, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying tools with your
nger on the switch or plugging in tools that have
the switch on invites accidents
Remove any adjusting key or wrenches before
turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep a proper footing and
balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
Tool use and care
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and o.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch
is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and do not
allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
GENERAL

these instructions to operate the power tool. Tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier
to control.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may aect the tools operation.
If damaged, have the tool serviced before using.
Poorly maintained tools cause many accidents.
Use the power tool, accessories and blades etc.,
in accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the power
tool for operations dierent from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the work piece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may
be suitable for one tool may become hazardous
when used on another tool.
Service
Only qualied repair personnel must perform
tool service. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualied personnel could result in a risk of
injury.
When servicing tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the maintenance section of this manual. Use
of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
maintenance Instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury.
5.3. SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and
blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle. If
both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut
by the blade.
WARNING! Do not reach underneath
the work. The guard cannot protect
you from the blade below the work.
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the
workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade
teeth should be visible below the workpiece.
NEVER hold piece being cut in your hands or
across your leg. It is important to support the
work properly to minimize body exposure, blade
binding, or loss of control.
WARNING! Hold tool by insulated
gripping surfaces when performing
an operation where the cutting tools
may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock
the operator.
When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight
edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and
reduces the chance of blade binding. Always use
blades with correct size and shape of arbour holes.
Blades that do not match the mounting hardware
of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of
control.
WARNING! Never use damaged or
incorrect arbor anges or bolts. The
arbor anges and bolt were specially
designed for your saw, for best
performance and safety of operation
Important: Kickback causes and related
warnings
Kick back is a sudden reaction to a
pinched, bound or misaligned saw
blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and
out of the workpiece toward the operator;
When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the
kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor
reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the
operator;
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given
below.
Maintain a rm grip with both hands on the saw
and position your arms to resist kickback forces.
Position your body to either side of the blade, but
not in line with the blade.
Kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards,
but kickback forces can be controlled by the
operator, if proper precautions are taken.

When blade is binding, or when
interrupting a cut for any reason,
release the trigger and hold the saw
motionless in the material until the
blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt
to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw
backward while the blade is in motion or
KICKBACK may occur. Investigate and take
corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade
binding.
When restarting a saw in the workpiece,
center the saw blade in the kerf and
check that teeth are not engaged into
the material.
If saw blade is binding, it may walk up or KICKBACK
from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade
pinching and KICKBACK. Large panels tend to sag
under their own weight. Supports must be placed
under the panel on both sides, near the line of
cut and near the edge of the panel. Do not use dull
or damaged blade. Dull blades produce a narrow
kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding, and
KICKBACK.
Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers
must be tight and secure before making cut. If
blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause
binding and kickback.
Use only recommended blades, rated
at the machine’s maximum rated RPM
or higher with correct arbor hole.
Guard function
Check guard for proper closing before each use. Do
not operate the saw if guard does not move freely
and enclose the blade instantly. Never clamp or
tie the guard so that the blade is exposed. If saw is
accidentally dropped, guard may be bent. Check
to make sure that guard moves freely and does not
touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and
depths of cut.
Check the operation and condition of
the guard return spring. If the guard
and the spring are not operating
properly, they must be serviced before
use. Guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged
parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
Lower guard may be retracted manually only
for special cuts such as “plunge cuts”. Raise
lower guard by projecting portion and as soon
as blade enters the material, the lower guard
must be released. For all other sawing, the lower
guard should operate automatically.
Always observe that the guard is
covering the blade before placing
saw down on bench or oor.
An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the
saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its
path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade
to stop after switch is released.
Tighten blade retaining bolt and all clamps before
operating.
Secure workpiece properly. Workpiece should
be straight and rmly clamped to avoid possible
movement and pinching as the cut nears
completion.
Allow the blade to come to a
complete stop before removing or
securing workpiece, or changing
workpiece angle.
Check the inside surfaces of the arbor anges as
well as the sides of the blade for freedom from any
foreign matter.
Check the blade for cracks or other damage before
operation. Replace cracked or damaged blade
immediately.
Never start the tool with the workpiece against the
blade.
Allow the motor to achieve full speed before
cutting.
Important: After completing the cut, release
power switch and wait for coasting blade to stop
completely before putting the saw down.
Never operate the tool in an area with ammable
solids, liquids, or gases. Sparks from the
commutator/carbon brushes could cause a re or
explosion.
There are certain applications for which this
tool was designed. The manufacturer strongly
recommends that this tool NOT be modied and/
or used for any application other than for which it
was designed. If you have any questions relative to
its application DO NOT use the tool until you have
written the manufacturer and have been advised
WARNING: Always wear hearing protection with
this tool.

7.1. INTENDED USE
This saw is designed exclusively for the
sawing of rigid insulation panel,
sandwich panel, aluminum, steel and
plastics. This machine should not be
used for cutting other materials. Do not use this saw
to cut wood. The machine should not be converted
or modied, e.g. for any other form of use, other
than as specied in these operating instructions.
The user shall be liable for damages and accidents
due to incorrect use.
CAUTION: Do not overheat the blade
tips. Use of undue force will not
speed up the cutting operation.
Allow the tool to determine the best
feed rate.
CAUTION: When sawing plastics, avoid melting
the plastic.
7.2. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The network voltage must conform to
the voltage indicated on the tool name
plate. Under no circumstances should
the tool be used when the power
supply cable is damaged. A damaged cable must be
replaced immediately by an authorized Customer
Service Center. Do not try to repair the damaged
cable yourself. The use of damaged power cables
can lead to an electric shock.
7.3. EXTENSION CABLE
If an extension cable is required, it must
have a sucient cross-section so as to
prevent an excessive drop in voltage or
over-heating. An excessive drop in
voltage reduces the output and can lead to failure
of the motor. The following table shows you the
correct cable diameter as a function of the cable
length for this machine. Use only U.L. and CSA listed
extension cables. Never use two extension cables

Remove any accumulated debris in
the guards and around the arbor.
Clean the inner arbor ange. Orient the ange so
that the correct side faces the blade and place the
new blade on the arbor,
making sure that the teeth point forwards.
Place the outer arbor ange on the arbor with the
correct side toward the blade.
NOTE: Use blades that have an arbor bore which
can t, and that are rated for the machine’s
SUPER HAND DRY CUTTER 8320
11

maximum rated speed or higher. Avoid contact
with blade teeth to prevent personal injury.
NOTE: Take care to ensure that the blade is
centered (it is possible to tighten the blade
crooked between the anges).
Replace and nger-tighten the blade retaining bolt
by turning it clockwise.
Arbor lock lever Push in the arbor lock lever and
rotate the arbor by hand until the
lock engages the arbor. Tighten
the blade retaining bolt securely.
Rock the arbor with the wrench to
ensure that the arbor lock has
released and release the arbor lock.
7.7. REMOVING THE BLADE
DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM POWER
SOURCE.
Removal is the opposite of installing the blade, but
special care must be taken to avoid injury from the
blade.
Push in the blade lock lever and rotate the arbor
with the wrench on the retaining bolt until the lock
engages the arbor. Loosen the blade retaining bolt
with the provided wrench and release the arbor
lock.
Completely unscrew the blade retaining bolt and lift
it and the outer ange away, taking care not to drop
the blade.
Carefully rotate the lower blade guard out of the
way. The blade may now be removed.
7.8. ADJUST CUTTING DEPTH
DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM POWER
SOURCE.
Depth lock lever
Adjust the cutting depth as
desired. A depth scale is provided.
Loosen the depth lock lever and
set the depth to the desired level.
Then tighten the lever.
Depth lock scale
WARNING: Depth adjusting locking
lever must be tight and secure
before making cut. If blade
adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause
binding and kickback.
7.9. USE OF SIGHTING NOTCH
Sighting notch To aid in free-hand cutting, a
sighting notch is located at the
front of the base.
Align the cutting line on the
work-piece with the sighting
notch. Additionally, the blade is
visible through small gaps in the cover for aligning
the blade perfectly with the intended line of cut.
7.10. BLADE GUARD
To test the function of the lower blade guard, rotate
the guard through the full stroke of its travel and
ensure that the guard is able to fully return back to
the closed position under its own spring tension.
If the guard is found to be sluggish or if it sticks in
any position, the problem will need to be remedied
before the machine is used again. It usually just
needs to be cleaned. To clean, rst remove the
sawblade and then clean all around the rotating
joint of the guard. All other repairs should be
performed by an authorized service center.
Kick lever Kicker Lever: When cutting
materials with bigger dimension/
cutting depth , such as sandwich
panel, often the lower blade guard
will not be able to bump open
automatically. In this case the
Lower blade guard kicker lever may be used to allow
the lower blade guard to open just
enough to get started. Simply
push the lever with the thumb of
the left hand without removing
one’s hand from the side handle.
After it begins, allow the guard to function automat-
ically as usual.
7.11. DUST COLLECTION SYSTEM
Dust collection should always be used to minimise
dust. Attach an appropriate hose and vacuum
cleaner system to the dust extractor port on the
machine.
Dust chamber If a vacuum cleaner is not available,
close the cap of the dust port.
There is a dust chamber which can
collect a small amount of dust or
chips which is built into the upper
blade guard. Clear the dust
chamber frequently to avoid it being overlled. To

clear the dust chamber, push up on the clip and
rotate the dust chamber cover to the open position
and dump out the dust. Once nished clip the cover
back to the closed position.
8. START AND STOP OF THE
MACHINE
Make sure that the power circuit voltage is the
same as that shown on the specication plate of the
machine and that switch is “OFF” before connecting
the tool to the power circuit.
8.1. SWITCHINGTHE MACHINE ON AND OFF
Keep the machine steady during switching and
during use by holding the main handle and the side
handles with both hands.
Lock release button To switch on: rst push the lock
release button , and then press the
trigger switch.
Trigger switch To switch o:
Release the trigger switch. After the machine has
been switched o, the sawblade will still rotate for a
time. Take care that parts of your body do not come
in contact the saw blade while it is still rotating!
As soon as you remove the machine from the
work-piece, always allow the lower blade guard to
close completely. In this way the sawblade is again
completely covered by the outer protective cover
8.2. ELECTRONIC OVERLOAD PROTECTION
AND LOAD INDICATOR LIGHT
Load indicator light This machine is equipped with a
load indicator light that will inform
the operator of load conditions.
Whenever the switch is turned on
and load conditions are normal,
the indicator light will be a solid
green color. If load is approaching overload
conditions, the indicator light will ash red. I f the
operator continues to run the machine in overload
conditions for a sustained period of time, the
electronic overload protection unit will shut the
machine o. The higher the level of overload, the
more quickly the machine will shut down.
When this happens, always remove the machine
from the work-piece and run the machine at no load
for a few minutes to allow the motor to cool down
before continuing to avoid a burn out of the motor.
8.3. USE OF THE MACHINE
Eective control of this powerful saw requires
two-handed operation for maximum protection.
Do not use this tool continuously over 30 minutes.
Support the work properly and hold the saw rmly
WITH BOTH HANDS to prevent loss of control which
could cause personal injury. Always hold the side
handle with the left hand and the rear handle with
the right hand for proper hand support of the saw.
Protect your eyes from injury with safety glasses or
goggles. Do not use cutting uids or lubricants on
the blade.
Sawing
The machine must reach full speed before cutting
begins and should only be switched o once cutting
has nished. Only operate the saw away from you
(pushing the circular saw forwards) and never
towards you (pulling the circular saw backwards). If
you saw towards you, there is the danger that the
circular saw might be accelerated out of the cutting
groove (recoil) and cause serious injury.
The lower blade guard should open automat-
ically when it hits the edge of the work-piece. If it
doesn’t open automatically, give it a little help at
the beginning of the cut by pushing the kicker lever
with the thumb of the left hand. This will open the
lower blade guard by about 20 degrees.
Sawing sections:
Make sure the cutting depth is set as desired. Place
the front part of the saw bench on the work-piece.
Switch the machine on. Push the machine in the
direction of cut. Take care that the saw base remains
rmly on the work-piece. Switch the machine o
and allow the lower blade guard to close completely
when cutting is completed. The depth is there to
adapt the position of the saw blade on the material.
Clamping the workpiece
Secure the work-piece properly. The work-piece
should be straight and rmly clamped to avoid
possible movement and pinching as the cut nears
completion. Provide adequate support for long
or wide work-pieces. Never position large or long
work-pieces so that they bend in the middle or
at the cutting face. This can lead to the saw blade
jamming and kicking back. Instead, support the
work-piece with several wooden battens, close to
the cutting face. Conrm that the blade has come
to a complete stop before removing or securing the
work-piece, or changing the work-piece angle.
SUPER HAND DRY CUTTER 8320
13

CAUTION: Keep the cord away from
cutting area to prevent it from
becoming entangled in the
work-piece.
Do not force the cut. Let the saw do the cutting at
the rate of speed permitted by the type of cut and
work-piece.
8.4. CUTTING GUIDE
Guide clearance adjustor
Guide rails are available to assist in
making precise straight cuts and
enhance safety. (These are an
optional accessory) The guide rail
may be secured with C-clamps if
desired. There are 2 guide
clearance adjustors for optimum t and safety.
Adjust these equally so that there is no looseness,
yet the base still slides freely.
The rubber sighting strip:
The sighting / anti-splinter strip must be cut to size
along its full length before the rst use. The rubber
strip must be backed by a work-piece when it is cut
for the rst time.
CAUTION: Failure to use a backing work-piece on
the rst cut may result in the rubber strip being
torn or damaged by the blade
Once it is cut to size, it will perfectly correspond
to the cutting edge and will also help to protect
the material from splintering. Once it is sized, the
operator can know at a glance exactly where the
line of cut will be. This saves a lot of time and eort
in making precise cuts.
9. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
9.1. KEEP TOOL CLEAN
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry
compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned
with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to
clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or
otherwise damage the material.
Wear safety glasses while using compressed air.
Clean all parts of the lower blade guard mechanism
to ensure smooth operation.
9.2. REPLACEMENT OF CARBON BRUSHES
The carbon brushes are a normal
wearing par t and must be
replaced when they reach their
wear limit.
To replace:
Kohlebürstenhalter Remove the brush caps and
withdraw the old brushes. Replace
with new brushes (always replace
as a pair) ensuring that they align
properly and slide freely. Instal-
lation is the reverse of removal.
Then replace the brush caps.
CAUTION: Always replace the brushes
as a pair.
9.3. STANDARD ACCESSORIES
• Carbide tipped saw blade 320x84T
• 5 mm L-hex key

from 0 to 45 degrees. To adjust the bevel angle:
Loosen the bevel lock knob
( See g. 5 ) and the smaller knob at the rear. Lift the
bevel lock knob out of the slot and rotate the base
to the desired angle. The most commonly used
angles each have an individual slot. Simply drop the
bevel lock into the slot and tighten. If other angles
are needed, tighten the bevel lock knob to hold at
the desired position. Then tighten the smaller knob
at the rear of the base.
12.7. HOW TO USE THE SIGHTING NOTCH
To aid in free- hand cutting, a sighting notch is
located at the front of the base. See g. 6. Align
the cutting line on the work piece with the sighting
notch. Make the cut. Use the right-
hand notch (between the two marking dots) for
straight cuts and the left- hand notch (located
below the rivet) for 45- degree bevel cuts.
12.8. STARTING AND STOPPING TOOL

then squeeze the trigger switch to start the motor.
Release the trigger switch to stop the motor. See
g. 7.
12.9. REMOVING CHIPS
This dry- cut metal saw has an internal chip
collector. When the chip collector is full, the chips
must be cleared. To do this, rst shut down and
DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE. The
outer blade cover lock knob has a bayonet lock
thread. See g. 8. To remove cover, turn knob
anticlockwise while pushing in against the spring
tension. Then lift cover away. Recently- cut chips can
be very hot. Take care when removing the cover to
keep the chips or shavings away from your hands or
other body
parts. Do not throw hot debris where paper or other
ammable materials are located. To replace the
outer blade cover, line up tang with slot and push in
against the spring while turning clockwise. Ensure
that the cover is properly seated.
12.10. HOW TO USE THE RIP FENCE
Using the rip fence will provide more accurate
straight cuts than by cutting free- hand. For instal-
lation, DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE
then insert the rip fence in the mounting slots. In
the base.
12.11. LOWER RETRACTING BLADE GUARD
The lower retracting blade guard is a safety device
important for your protection. Every
time you use the saw, make sure that the guard
rotates freely and returns quickly and completely
to its closed position. Before each use, remove
any accumulated chips, or shavings from the area
around the hub of the guard. DO NOT LUBRICATE
THIS AREA. The hub has a dry lm lubricated surface
that does not need oiling. NEVER block or wedge
the blade guard in the open position. NEVER use
your saw if the blade guard is not in working order.
If blade guard movement is sluggish or if binding
exists, return the saw to your nearest AUTHORIZED
SERVICE CENTER for repair.

12.12. HOW TO USE THE TOOL
Eective control of this powerful saw requires
two- handed operation for maximum protection.
Support the work properly and to hold the saw
rmly WITH BOTH HANDS to
prevent loss of control which could cause personal
injury. Always hold the side handle with the left
hand and the rear handle with the right hand for
proper hand support of the saw. Protect your eyes
from injury with safety glasses or goggles.
Do not use cutting uids or lubricants on the blade.
12.13. CLAMP THE WORK PIECE
Secure the work piece properly. The work piece
should be straight and rmly clamped to avoid
possible
movement and pinching as the cut nears
completion. Provide adequate support for long or
wide work pieces. Conrm that the blade has come
to a complete stop before removing or securing the
work piece, or changing the work piece angle. Press
the safety, then the trigger switch. Move the saw
forward to contact the work piece. Clamp the work
piece on a rigid support, such as a bench or saw
horses. Mark the line of cut on the work piece. Be
sure that the cuto line is far enough on the work
piece to allow proper operation of the telescoping
guard. Place the front edge of the saw squarely on
work piece before starting the motor. Sight the
cutting line with the sighting notch indicator or
use the rip fence. Be certain that the blade is not
contacting the work piece. Press the safety, then the
trigger switch, allow the motor to come up to full
speed and move the saw forward to begin the cut.
CAUTION: Keep the cord away from cutting area to
prevent it from becoming entangled in the work
piece.
Do not force the cut. Let the saw do the cutting at
the rate of speed permitted by the type of cut and
work piece. Increase feed pressure as the blade
cuts through the thicker cross-sections (to maintain
minimum “sparking”). Decrease the feed pressure as
the blade cuts through the thinner cross sections
(to maintain motor speed and avoid overloading
the machine). After completing the cut, release the
power switch and wait for the coasting blade to
stop completely before putting the saw down.
13. MAINTENANCE
13.1. KEEP TOOL CLEAN
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry
compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned
with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to
clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or
otherwise damage the material. Wear safety glasses
while using compressed air.
13.2. THE CARBON BRUSHES
The carbon brushes are a normal wearing part and
must be replaced when they reach their wear limit.
See g. 10.
To replace: simply remove the brush caps and
withdraw the old brushes. Replace with new
brushes (always replace as a pair) ensuring that
they align properly and slide freely. Then replace the
brush caps. See g. 11.
13.3. WARNING
Make sure that the tool is turned o and not
connected to a power source before you perform
maintenance and/or examine the tool. For safety
reasons and in order to ensure proper functioning
of the device, repairs, maintenance and adjustment
