Using your Makita A - 97570 band saw blade is straightforward. First, make sure your saw is the right size (32 - 7/8') and compatible with this blade, like the Makita 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion Compact Portable Band Saw model XBP01. Then, install the blade according to the saw's instructions. When cutting, select the appropriate material like non - ferrous metal, mild steel, or stainless steel. The wavy tooth design will give you clean cuts in sheets, tubes, and pipes. As for maintenance, after each use, wipe the blade clean to remove any debris. Store it in a dry place to prevent rust. Remember, this blade has a long life thanks to the advanced welding and bi - metal construction, but if you notice excessive wear, it's time to replace it.
