What should you do before start cutting with a circular saw?

* Wear safety glasses or a face shield.
* Wear an approved respirator or dust mask when exposed to harmful or nuisance dusts.
* Use appropriate hearing protection equipment in noisy areas.
* Check the retracting lower blade guard to make certain it works freely.
* Ensure that the blade that you have selected is sharp enough to do the job. Sharp blades work better and are safer.
* Check the saw for proper blade rotation.
* Set the depth of the blade, while the saw is unplugged, and lock it at a depth so that the lowest tooth does not extend more than about 0.3 cm or 1/8” beneath the wood.
* Keep all cords clear of cutting area.
* Circular saws are designed for right-hand operation; left-handed operation will demand more care to operate safely.

What should you do to work safely with a circular saw?

* Check the retracting lower blade guard frequently to make certain it works freely. It should enclose the teeth as completely as possible, and cover the unused portion of the blade when cutting.

Circular Saw

* Check that the retracting lower blade guard has returned to its starting position before laying down the saw.
* Keep upper and retracting lower blade guard clean and free of sawdust.
* Disconnect power supply before adjusting or changing the blade.
* Allow the saw to reach full power before starting to cut
* Use two hands to operate saws - one on a trigger switch and the other on a front knob handle.
* Keep motor free from accumulation of dust and chips.
* Select the correct blade for stock being cut and allow it to cut steadily. Do not force it.
* Secure stock being cut to avoid movement.

What should you avoid when cutting with a circular saw?

* Do not hold or force the retracting lower guard in the open position.
* Do not place hand under the shoe or guard of the saw.
* Do not over tighten the blade-locking nut.
* Do not twist the saw to change, cut or check alignment.
* Do not use a saw that vibrates or appears unsafe in any way.
* Do not force the saw during cutting.
* Do not cut materials without first checking for obstructions or other objects such as nails and screws.
* Do not carry the saw with a finger on the trigger switch.
* Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance.
* Do not rip stock without using a wedge or guide clamped or nailed to the stock.

Do Not Over-Reach

If you try to cut off your own head and fail do you know you failed?

A child and three other adults were in the three-bedroom home when police arrived.

Poor child! And why couldn't these 3 adults hear a chain saw running and maybe wonder what was going on...????

Illegal Mexican converted to the ROP and putting a new “spin” on the favorite torture of ROP?

Tragic. Sick. Beyond sick.

Measure twice, cut once!

But first, lets' take a minute to talk about... shop safety.

He should have started with himself first and told her to stop screaming because she was next.

He should have used a demolition blade in a Sawzall instead.

Or an electric chainsaw, what a loser.
