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 finished 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 specification plate of the
machine and that switch is "OFF" before connecting
the tool to the power circuit.
8.1.
SWITCHING THE 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: first push the lock
release button , and then press the
trigger switch.
Trigger switch
To switch off:
Release the trigger switch. After the machine has
been switched off, 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

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 flash 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 off. 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.
SUPER HAND DRY CUTTER 8320
8.3.
USE OF THE MACHINE
Effective 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 firmly
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 fluids or lubricants on
the blade.
Sawing
The machine must reach full speed before cutting
begins and should only be switched off once cutting
has finished. 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
firmly on the work-piece. Switch the machine off
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 firmly 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. Confirm that the blade has come
to a complete stop before removing or securing the
work-piece, or changing the work-piece angle.
