Using the DeWalt DCS378B bandsaw is straightforward. First, make sure you've attached the included bandsaw blade properly using the blade - tracking and fence - adjusting hex wrench. Insert a charged 20V battery (sold separately) into the tool. Then, power it on using the trigger. You can adjust the blade speed according to your cutting needs with the variable - speed trigger and dial. When cutting, place the material on the cutting surface and use the built - in LED to improve visibility and make accurate cuts. Remember, the tool is Tool Connect CHIP READY, so you can enhance job - site asset management by adding the Tool Connect Chip DCE042 (sold separately). There's also an attachment point for a lanyard starting from June 2024, which can help keep your tool and battery secure on the jobsite. As for maintenance, always keep the blade guard in place to protect the blade and yourself. After each use, clean the bandsaw to remove any debris. Regularly check the blade for wear and replace it when necessary. Also, store the tool in a dry place when not in use.
