Purpose of this Manual
This manual is intended to provide users with
correct knowledge and the procedures for
operation, maintenance and inspection of the
BNCE-45 Cutting Edge Saw™. This tool is used
to cut rebar, strut, all-thread rod, pipe, tubing,
and conduit. Improper use of the tool may lead
to a serious accident. Therefore, always read
this instruction manual before using the tool to
familiarize yourself with its correct usage, operating
method, and warnings.
Safety Instruction & General Guidelines
Warning! Read and understand all
instructions. 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 as in the presence of
ammableliquids,gasesordust.Powertools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while
operating 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.Unmodied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. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not use the cord for any purpose that it
was not intended for. 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
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
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
interrupter” (“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inuenceofdrugs,alcoholor
medication. A moment of inattention while
operating 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o-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 rotating 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 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o.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
children 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aect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,
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.
Service
Haveyourpowertoolservicedonlybyaqualied
repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.

Operating Instructions
• Adjust the rear handle position to comfortably
grip the tool. (The rear handle changes position
using the button 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 left side of the tool above the
trigger; (See Figure 1) and then depress the
trigger to start the saw.
• Start the saw before cutting and then apply a
light pressure moving forward through the cut.
Cutting Edge Saw™ Routine Maintenance
• Always unplug the saw from the electric outlet
before attempting any maintenance.
• Clean the entire unit occasionally by removing
dust, debris and oils.
• Occasionally remove the bottom plate; remove
any cutting chips that remain lodged in the area
where the cutting blade rotates.
• Remove and inspect the cutting blade for
material residue. This should be done after 4-8
hours of use.
• Most material cutting debris will be expelled
through 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cuttingdebrisandmaterials.
Blade Replacement
The standard blade (RB-BNCE-45) for the BNCE-
45 Cutting Edge Saw™ should be replaced when
the blade is dull or visibly worn, or when there is a
noticeabledecreaseincuttingeciency.
To change the Blade:
• Unplug the saw before performing any work
on the tool blade.
• Using the smaller Allen key tool, remove the
four (4) screws that hold the Blade Cover to the
body of the saw. See Figure 2
• Remove the cover, being careful to set the four
mounting screws and the accompanying locking
nuts aside in a safe place.
• Presstheblade/spindlelockbuttontosecure
the blade spindle (See Figure 1). You may need
to manually rotate the blade so that the lock
button engages and is secured in a locked
position.
• When the blade is locked, use the larger Allen
key to remove the blade mounting screw and
blade locking head at the center of the blade
(Figure 3). Note: With the blade spindle locked,
you will need to rotate the screw in a counter-
clockwise direction.
• Make sure that when the blade is removed, that
the blade head is free of any metal debris that
has not escaped the tool. As needed, clean the
tool to remove any metal chips or particles from
the blade head area.
• Install the new blade over the spindle at the
center opening. BN Products-USA™ blades will
be marked “This Side Up” to ensure that the
blade is not installed upside-down. In addition,
each blade is printed with a directional arrow
(Figure 3). This arrow must always point in the
same direction as the arrow marked on the top
side of the blade cover, as shown in Figure 4.
• Replace the blade locking head using the blade
mounting screw, using the Allen key to securely
tighten the screw in a clockwise direction. DO
NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
• Replace the blade cover using the four (4)
mounting screws, making sure that the locking
nuts are still inserted in the threaded hole for
each mounting screw. Securely fasten each
screw without overtightening.
See Figures 2, 3, and 4 on the next page.
Follow this same procedure when installing a
specialty blade, such as the RB-BNCE-45S Strut
Cutting Blade (sold separately). Always save the
Allen key tools with the saw in a safe place for
future use.
