    Additional Safety Rules – Portable    

Band Saws

•     Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,when 

performing an operation where the cutting accessory may 

contact hidden wiring or its own cord.

cutting accessories 

contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the 

power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.

•    

Keep hands away from cutting area and blade.

 Keep one hand 

on the main handle and the other hand on the front handle to 

prevent loss of control which could result in personal injury.

•     Always make sure the portable band saw is clean before using.
•     Always cease operation at once if you notice any abnormality 

whatsoever.

•     Always be sure all components are mounted properly and securely 

before using tool.

•     Always handle the band saw blade with care when mounting or 

removing it. 

•     Always keep your hands out of the line of the band saw blade.
•     Always wait until the motor has reached full speed before starting 

a cut.

•     Always keep handles dry, clean, and free of oil and grease. Hold 

the tool firmly when in use.

•     Always be alert at all times, especially during repetitive, 

monotonous operations. Always be sure of position of your hands 

relative to the blade.

•     Never remove work stop.
•     Stay clear of end pieces that may fall after cutting off. They may be 

hot, sharp and/or heavy. Serious personal injury may result.

       

       

Using an Extension Cable 

    

If an extension cable is required, use an approved 3–core 

extension cable suitable for the power input of this tool (see 

Technical Data

).The     minimum conductor size is 1.5 mm

2

; the 

maximum length  

is 30 m.

      When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely.

@  

WARNING: ALWAYS

 use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are 

NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation 

is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:

•     

Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, 

sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. 

Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap 

and water.

 Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on 

the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals. 

•     The label on your tool may include the following symbols. The 

symbols and their definitions are as follows:

V................volts
A......................amperes
Hz ....................hertz 
W ...............watts

    ASSEMBLY

    

    Blades

      This portable band saw is setup for use with .020" (0.5 mm) 

thick, 1/2" (12.5 mm) wide and 44-7/8" (1140 mm) long blades. 

DO NOT 

use .025 (.64 mm) thick blades.

 @ 

CAUTION:

 The use of any other blade or accessory might be 

hazardous. DO NOT use any other type of accessory with your 

band saw. Blades used on stationary band saws are of different 

thickness. Do not attempt to use them on your portable unit.

    

    Blade Selection

       In general, first consider the size and shape of the work, and the 

type of material to be cut. Remember, for the most efficient cutting, 

the coarsest tooth blade possible should be used in a given 

application, because the coarser the tooth, the faster the cut. In 

selecting the appropriate number of teeth per inch of the band saw 

blade, at least two teeth should contact the work surface when 

the blade is rested against the workpiece. As a rule of thumb, soft 

materials usually require coarse tooth blades, while hard materials 

require fine tooth blades. Where a smoother finish is important, 

select one of the finer tooth blades.

      Select the appropriate band saw blade according to the material 

type, dimensions, and number of teeth. See 

Blade Description

 

chart.

       The following table is intended as a general guide only. Determine 

the type of material and dimension of the workpiece and select the 

most appropriate band saw blade.

      CAUTION:

 Never use the band saw to cut resin materials which 

are subject to melting. Melting of resin material caused by high 

heat generated during cutting may cause the band saw blade to 

become bound to the material, possibly resulting in overload and 

burn-out of the motor.

   Blade Speed

      Your DWM120 portable band saw is equipped with variable speed 

for greater versatility. Turn the speed wheel (I) to select the desired 

speed (Fig. 1). Speed 1 is the slowest speed; Speed 5 is the 

fastest. Use speed settings 1–5 when connected to an AC power 

supply. 

      When cutting copper, brass, bronze, aluminum, cast iron, angle 

iron, and mild steel, use a higher speed. When cutting plastic pipe, 

tougher steels, chrome steel, tungsten steel, stainless steel, and 

other problem materials, use low speed. 

      

NOTE:

 When cutting plastic pipe, higher speeds may melt plastic.
