Step1
Before finding out how to use a circular saw, decide what power saw you need for the job. Do curving cuts with a saber saw, band saw, or jig saw. Cut trees and tree limbs with a chain saw. Use a circular saw for making long, straight cuts and crosscuts.


Step2
Read the owner's manual.


Step3
Check that the blade is sharp. Replace a dull blade while the saw is unplugged.


Step4
Set the blade depth, while the saw is still unplugged, so that it extends no more than 1/8 to 1/4 inch below the wood.


Step5
Set up sawhorses or a bench to support the wood.


Step6
Use clamps to hold your work in place. Never cut across your arm, knee or hand.


Step7
Put on safety goggles, glasses or other eye protection.


Step8
Wear a dust mask or respirator if sawing harmful materials such as treated wood.


Step9
Plug in the saw.


Step10
Start the saw and let it reach full power before starting to cut.


Step11
Use both hands on the saw: one on the trigger and the other on the front knob handle.


Step12
Stop the saw when you are finished cutting. Allow the blade to stop moving before removing it from the wood.
