Cleaning the Saw Blade

  1. Step 1 Remove any rust with sandpaper or steel wool.
    Use a 300-grit sandpaper or a pad of steel wool and work across the blade in small circles. Apply a firm pressure to scrub the blade, so as to completely remove the rust.
    • For extra tough spots or oil on the blade, use a small amount of dish detergent along with your scouring pad to fight through the grease.
    • Consider wearing eye and mouth protection to keep yourself safe from rust particles.
