Safety Instruction &
General Safety Rules
Warning! Read and understand all
instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious
personal injury.
PLEASE SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Work Area Safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while oper-
ating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
Electrical Safety
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and re-
frigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock. Replace dam-
aged cords.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
NOTE The term residual current device (RCD may
be replaced by the term ground fault circuit in-
terrupter (GFCI) or earth leakage circuit breaker
(ELCB).
Personal Safety
• Always wear eye protection. Care must be taken
to prevent chips from hitting other workers in
the same area.
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cation. A moment of inattention while operat-
ing power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking up
or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energizing power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before

~ Page | 4 ~
BNCE-30_Operations_Manual.indd May 13, 2019
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power Tool Use and Care
• Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc., in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
Service
Have your power tool serviced only by a quali-
fied repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.

is raining or snowing, never operate this saw outdoors,
on top of buildings or under roofs where rain or snow
enters freely. Do not use where water accumulates or
where water splashes.
Operation Instructions
Adjust the rear handle position to comfortably grip the
tool. (The rear handle changes position with the but-
ton located on the top of the handle.) Locate the front
handle in the mounting hole that provides the best grip.
To operate the trigger, depress the trigger lock button
(on the side of the tool) and then pull the trigger to start
the saw. Start the saw before cutting and then apply a
light pressure moving forward through the cut.
! DANGER: Electric Shock Hazard.
Ignoring this warning may lead to death
or serious injury. When raining or
snowing, do not operate outdoors or
indoors where rain or snow enters freely
or in extreme temperatures.
Do not use under high temperature and humidity or
extremely cold temperature conditions. The tool is de-
signed for use under an allowable environmental tem-
perature of 0 to 100°F. Operation at higher temperature
may cause the tool’s main unit to overheat. Operation

Remove Hazardous Substances
Since the tool is an electric tool, it may spark and
cause an explosion or a fire if operated near gas
cylinders, thinner, or explosive and other hazardous
substances or in a place filled with flammable gas,
etc. Therefore, do not use the tool in places where
such hazardous substances are present.
! DANGER May cause an explosion
or a fire. Ignoring this warning may
cause death or serious injury. Never
use the tool in places filled with
flammable gas or near hazardous
substances of high flammability.
Maintenance of the Main Unit
Always unplug the saw from the electric outlet be-
fore attempting any maintenance. Clean the entire
unit occasionally by removing dust, debris and oils.
Occasionally remove the flush cutting bottom plate;
then remove any cutting chips that remain lodged in
the area where the cutting blade rotates.
It is also recommended that the cutting blade be re-
moved and inspect for any materials that did not exit
out the chip exhaust area. This should be done after
4-8 hours of use. Most material cutting chips would
normally exit out the chip exhaust area and into the
Cutting Chip Catch Bag. It is recommended that the
Cutting Chip Catch bag be emptied when it becomes
2/3 full of cut material.
RB-BNCE-30 Blade
The Blade for the BNCE-30 Cutting Edge Saw™
should be replaced when the blade is dull or
chipped and a noticeable increase in cutting time
has occurred.
To change the Blade, remove the screws that hold
the Blade Cover to the Body (4). Remove the cover
and unscrew the (4) bolts holding the blade to the
Hub. The replacement blades that you purchase
have new screws to be used when installing the new
blade. Make sure that when you remove the blade
you clean out the head of any metal debris that has
not escaped the tool.
