Using the DeWalt DW3989 portable band saw blades is easy. First, make sure your saw is turned off and unplugged. Then, install the blade onto the saw following the manufacturer's instructions. When using the saw, keep a steady hand and let the blade do the work. Don't force it through the material, as this can cause the blade to wear out faster. As for maintenance, after each use, clean the blade with a soft brush to remove any debris. Store the blades in a dry place to prevent rusting. Also, check the blade regularly for signs of wear or damage. If you notice any issues, replace the blade promptly to ensure the best performance of your saw.
