Using the Makita B - 49719 cut - out saw blades is easy. First, make sure you have the Makita 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion Cordless Cut - Out Saw (sold separately). Install the blade securely onto the saw. When you're ready to cut, refer to the depth markings on the blade to set the right cutting depth. This will help you make accurate cuts in wood up to 9/16' thick. As for precautions, always wear safety goggles and gloves to protect yourself from wood chips and debris. Also, keep your hands away from the blade when it's in motion. For maintenance, after each use, wipe the blade clean to remove any sawdust or residue. You can use a dry cloth or a soft brush. Store the blades in a dry place to prevent rusting. With proper use and care, these high - carbon steel blades will serve you well for a long time.
