Using the DeWalt DAH4234 hole saw is quite straightforward. First, make sure your drill is compatible with the hole saw's size. Attach the hole saw securely to the drill. When you start cutting, apply steady pressure on the drill to let the aggressive tooth design do its job. It can cut through tough materials like wood with nails, thick metal, and stainless steel. But don't push too hard, as this could cause the saw to overheat. After making a hole, use the large, continuous slot to remove the plug easily. Just find a leverage point and pop it out. As for maintenance, after each use, clean the hole saw to remove any chips or debris. You can use a brush for this. Also, check the carbide tips regularly. If they seem worn out, it might be time to replace the hole saw. Store the hole saw in a dry place to prevent rust. This way, you can keep it in good condition and make the most of its long lifespan, which is up to three times longer than Milwaukee®* hole saws.
