How to Clean a Ryobi 18V One Rotary Saw

The Ryobi 18V One rotary, or circular, saw is a powerful tool for wood cutting projects. The Ryobi 18V One saw has an 18-volt battery pack and 5 1/2-inch blades. The saw blades are tipped in carbide for a longer life, and the saw only weighs about 5 lbs. After use, the Ryobi 18V One rotary saw's blades get dirty and covered in sap, causing them not to cut as well as they should. Cleaning the blades keeps them sharp.
