Using the Makita T - 05614 band saw blades is easy. First, make sure your band saw is turned off and unplugged if it's corded. Then, install the blade on your Makita or compatible 44 - 7/8 - inch band saw following the saw's instruction manual. When cutting, keep the material you're working on stable. You can use these blades to cut materials like rebar, pipe, and more. Just remember, they're best for materials up to 3/8 inches thick. For safety, always wear protective gear like safety glasses and gloves. When you're done cutting, turn off the saw and let it cool down. To maintain the blades, clean them after each use to remove any debris. Store the blades in a dry place to prevent rust. With proper use and maintenance, these bi - metal blades will serve you well for a long time.
