Using the Makita 714012 - A hole saw is easy. First, make sure you've attached it to the right arbor, either the 714063 - A or 714065 - A with a 5/8' - 18 thread. Then, mark the spot where you want to cut on your wood or steel material. Hold the saw steady and start drilling at a moderate speed. The 4/6 variable pitch teeth will do the job quickly. When it comes to maintenance, after each use, wipe the saw clean to remove any debris. Store it in a dry place to prevent rust. And be careful when handling the high - speed steel teeth as they are very sharp. With proper use and care, this hole saw will serve you well for a long time.
