Using your DeWalt DWA8960F Elite Series Cutting Wheel is easy. First, make sure your cutting tool is turned off and unplugged. Then, carefully mount the wheel onto the arbor of your tool, ensuring it fits securely. Once it's in place, you're ready to start cutting. When using the wheel, always wear safety goggles and gloves to protect yourself from flying debris. Also, keep in mind that this wheel is designed for cutting metal, so don't use it on other materials. As for maintenance, after each use, clean the wheel with a soft brush to remove any metal shavings. Store the wheel in a dry place to prevent rust. If you notice any damage to the wheel, like cracks or chips, replace it immediately for safe and effective cutting.
