How To
How to properly use a saw
To cut wood into pieces, a handsaw is used. There are many types of handsaws: jigsaws and table saws; band saws; sabersaws; crosscut saws; miter saws; and rip-saws. A hand saw is made from metal or plastic and cuts materials such as wood, plastics and metals.
Hand saws have the main advantage of cutting at precise angles without needing to adjust the blade. It's also much easier to sharpen them than power tools. They do have their disadvantages. You must be careful when transporting them, as they can be heavy and bulky. You could also injure your self if you don't know how to use them.
You can hold a handsaw in many ways. When cutting, you should keep your hands 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 ensures that the blade is not accidentally touched.
Never place anything under a piece of wood that you're 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.
Always wear safety glasses when you use a handsaw. They protect your eyes from dust, which makes it easier to see what is happening. Safety glasses can also be useful as they protect your skin from flying debris.
You must learn how to safely operate a handsaw before you can use it. After that, practice until it becomes comfortable enough to start cutting. Once you master the basics you'll be able to easily cut most anything.
