Using your DeWalt DWA161218 circular saw blade is easy. First, make sure your saw is turned off and unplugged if it's a corded one. Then, install the blade following the saw's manual. For framing and cross - cutting, just guide the saw steadily along your marked line. Remember, the blade is great for both corded and cordless saws. When it comes to safety, always wear protective goggles and gloves. Avoid using the blade on materials it's not designed for. As for maintenance, after each use, wipe the blade clean to remove any debris. The ToughCoat™ anti - stick coating helps reduce gumming, but if you notice any build - up, you can use a mild cleaner. Store the blade in a dry place to prevent rusting. With proper use and care, this blade will serve you well for a long time.
