Safety Instruction -
General Safety Rules
Warning! Read and understand all instruc-
tions.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, re 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 atmospheres, such
asinthepresenceofammableliquids,gasesordust.Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keepchildrenandbystandersawaywhileoperatingapower
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. Unmodied plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed
or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Wa-
ter 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. Re-
place damaged 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 unavoid-
able, use a residual current device (RCD) protected sup-
ply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
NOTE The term ″residual current device (RCD)″ may be re-
placed by the term ″ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)″
or ″earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)″.
Personal Safety
• Always wear eye protection. Care must be taken to pre-
vent 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 inuence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while op-
erating 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 in-
juries.
• 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 nger on the switch or energizing
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotat-
ing part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. This enables better control of the power tool in un-
expected 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 ex-
traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used. Use of dust collection can re-
duce dust-related hazards.
Power Tool Use and Care
• 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 ad-
justments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of start-
ing the power tool accidentally.

BNCE-50_Product_Manual.indd • September 2017
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
• Power tools are dangerous in the hands of un-
trained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condi-
tion that may affect the power tool’s operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many acci-
dents 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 ac-
cordance with these instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of
the power tool for operations different from those intend-
ed could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
• Have your power tool serviced only by a qualied repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety Standards and Symbols
• This manual describes warning by classifying them into
three levels of DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION
according to the level of seriousness. Make sure that you
fully understand these warning before using this tool.

Operation
Checking and Preparation of Working Environment:
Check the following before using the Cutting Edge Saw. Al-
ways observe the instructions and prohibited items.
Operation Instructions
Adjust the rear handle position to comfortably grip the tool.
(The rear handle changes position with the button located
on the top of the handle.) 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.
Checking of weather conditions, do not use in the rain or snow:
The Cutting Edge is not a waterproof power tool. If it becomes
wet, the power source system may become faulty or the oper-
ator may get an electric shock. Therefore, when it 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.
! DANGER: Electric Shock Hazard. Ignor-
ing this warning may lead to death or seri-
ous injury. When raining or snowing, do not
operate outdoors or indoors where rain or
snow enters freely or in extreme tempera-
tures.
Do not use under high temperature and humidity or extreme-
ly cold temperature conditions. The tool is designed for use
under an allowable environmental temperature of 0 to 100°F.
Operation at higher temperature may cause the tool’s main
unit to overheat or the battery pack to become faulty. Oper-
ation at high temperature with high humidity may cause the
tool to fail due to condensation.
Also, do not operate the Cutting Edge Saw in very cold plac-
es or inside refrigerators where the temperature is freezing or
below.
Check The State of The Work Site.
Before using the tool, check whether the state of the work site
is as follows. Is the worksite free of foreign objects, debris,
water, ice, snow, powered electrical cables, and excessive
dust? Is the oor free of obstructions? Is their adequate ven-
tilation? Is the worker properly insulated from the ground.
Follow the operation instructions and avoid prohibited items.
The tool may become short circuited if dust, etc. enters the
main unit.
Remove Hazardous Substances.
Since the tool is an electric tool, it may spark and cause an explosion
or a re if operated near gas cylinders, thinner, or explosive and
otherhazardoussubstancesorinaplacelledwithammablegas,
etc. Therefore, do not use the tool in places where such hazardous
substancesarepresent.
! DANGER May cause an explosion or a
re. Ignoring this warning may cause death
or serious injury. Never use the tool in
places lled with ammable gas or near
hazardous substances of high ammability.
Maintenance of the Main Unit
Always unplug the saw from the electric outlet before attempt-
ing any maintenance. Clean the entire unit occasionally by re-
moving dust, debris and oils. Occasionally remove the ush
cutting bottom plate; then remove any cutting chips that re-
main lodged in the area the cutting blade rotated.
It is also recommended that the cutting blade be removed 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 materi-
al cutting chips would normally exit out the chip exhaust area
and into the Cutting Chip Catch Bag. It is recommended that
