How To
How to use a handsaw correctly
Hand saws are used for cutting wood into pieces. The most common types of hand saws are circular saws, jigsaws, table saws, band saws, saber saws, crosscut saws, miter saws, and rip saws. A hand saw is a tool made from metal or plastic which cuts material such as wood, plastics, metals, etc.
The best thing about a handsaw is the ability to make precise cuts at all angles and without needing adjustment. It is also very easy to sharpen them, unlike power tools. But there are disadvantages. They are also heavy and bulky so be careful when moving them. You could also injure your self if you don't know how to use them.
There are many ways you can hold a saw. While cutting, keep your fingers away from the blades. If you don't, you might get hurt. While holding the saw, make sure you place your fingers around its handle. Keep your thumb close to the blade. This will prevent you from accidentally touching the blade.
You should not place anything underneath the wood you are cutting with a handsaw. The blade could slip if you do this. Before cutting, be sure to check the area. Make sure there are no nails, screws or other objects under the wood.
You should always wear safety goggles when working with a hand saw. Safety glasses protect your eyes from dust and make it easier to see what the hand saw is doing. Safety glasses protect your head from flying debris.
If you plan to work with a hand saw, you must first learn how to operate it safely. Practice until you feel comfortable cutting. Once you master the basics you'll be able to easily cut most anything.
