- Selection of the appropriate saw.- Checking the saw for serviceability.
- The thumb of the left hand supports the correct placing of the saw close to the scribed line.
- With the first cut draw back the sawing tool at an acute angle.
Be careful with the first cut, avoid stumbling of the saw - risk of injury! |
- Firm stand, body at rest, only arm work out of the shoulder joint.- Move the sawing tool smoothly, slightly pushing it forward and drawing it back without pressure. Relax the arm and use the total blade length.
- Guide the saw blade vertically along the scribed line when sawing curves and sawing with the grain with the ripping saw, otherwise guide it along the scribed line at an acute angle to the surface of the workpiece.
- Use the full length of the saw blade.
- When the cutting through is nearly finished the left hand grips over the cut so that the falling piece will not break off. Lift both the parts a bit.
- Pay attention to the working data.
- Check the workpieces for wood defects and woodworking errors.
Badly placed cuts can be hardly corrected during sawing. Frame saws are stored unclamped and in hanging position after end of work. |
Why must the full saw blade length be used when
sawing?

Why must the saws always be placed on the opposite side of the
