Using the DeWalt DAH378 hole saw is easy. First, make sure your drill is set to the right speed for the material you're cutting. When you start cutting, apply steady pressure. The saw's aggressive tooth design will help it cut through thick metals, wood with nails, and stainless steel. After cutting, you can use the large, continuous slot to easily remove the plug. When it comes to maintenance, clean the saw after each use to keep it in good condition. You can use a brush to remove any debris. And store it in a dry place. Remember, this saw is made in the USA with global materials and can last up to 3 times longer than Milwaukee® products, so take good care of it to get the most out of it.
