How To
How to properly operate a handsaw
Hand saws can be used to cut wood into small pieces. Most common hand saws include circular saws (jigsaws), table saws and band saws. A hand saw is a tool made from metal or plastic which cuts material such as wood, plastics, metals, etc.
A hand saw has the advantage of being able to cut at any angle and without having to adjust the blade. They are also easy to sharpen, unlike power tools. However, they do have some disadvantages. They can be very heavy and bulky so it is important to take care when you transport them. You could also injure your self if you don't know how to use them.
There are many ways to hold a handheld saw. While cutting, keep your fingers away from the blades. If you don't, you might get hurt. You should hold the saw with your fingers close to the handle. Your thumb should be at the top of your blade. This way, you won't accidentally touch the blade.
You should not place anything underneath the wood you are cutting with a handsaw. This would result in the blade slipping off the wood's surface. Before you start cutting, ensure that you inspect the area. Check for nails, screws and other objects underneath the wood.
While working with a saw, you should always use safety goggles. Safety glasses protect your eyes from dust and make it easier to see what the hand saw is doing. Safety glasses protect your face against flying debris, which is another reason they are useful.
To work safely with a handheld saw, you need to first be able to operate it. Next, practice until your confidence is high enough to begin cutting. Once you master the basics you'll be able to easily cut most anything.
