Using the DeWalt DCS377Q1 bandsaw is easy. First, make sure you've set the right speed for the material you're cutting. You can use the variable - speed trigger and speed dial to do this. For overhead or one - handed cutting, the integrated guard gives you extra safety. When changing the blade, use the blade release lever with the wrench and adjust the tracking with the single - point adjustment. The metal latch will keep the pivoting guard open for you. In between cuts, you can hang the bandsaw using the integrated hang hook. Keep in mind, always wear proper safety gear like goggles. After use, clean the bandsaw and store it in a dry place. Also, check the blade regularly for wear and tear and replace it when needed.
