The following tips are helpful for safely and skillfully
using a circular saw. I feel that
knowing how to operate your tools, what purposes they have and safety basics are the most important aspect of woodworking You will gain experience over
time but must start with safe practices. If not, you will gain many scars and
possibly lose limbs instead of gaining skill in your woodworking endeavors!
WEAR YOUR SAFETY GLASSES!
Safety goggles might make you “look funny” for a minute but that is WAY than to not being able to look because you blinded yourself while sawing some plywood!! Eye Protection is a must when working with a circular saw as chips fly and can obscure your vision and/or lodge themselves in your eye. Ouch! Also, you never know when gremlins might show up and start throwing things at you!
