11 WORST CIRCULAR SAW MISTAKES!! And How To Avoid them...(DON'T DO THESE THINGS! Kickback/Binding)

Circular Saws are one of the most useful tools...and one of the most dangerous. This short video from The Honest Carpenter will show you 11 of the worst circular saw mistakes, and how to avoid them!

--Circular saws are as powerful as miter saws, but they're FREEHAND. Controlling this amount of cutting power is extremely important!

11 CIRCULAR SAW MISTAKES:
1. Getting in the cut path--keep all body parts free of the cut path!
2. Binding the blade--don't twist the saw, and don't let the wood close up on the blade. This sill bind the blade causing KICKBACK
3. Failure to prop the cut--make sure you lift your material off of the surface you're cutting on, possibly with scrap prop blocks. This will prevent you from cutting your work surface.
4. Setting the saw blade too deep--never let the circular saw blade more than 1/4" past the bottom of the material you're cutting.
5. Adjust the saw while in motion--don't do this! Don't adjust the depth or bevel while the saw is spinning.
6. Don't retract the saw while it's spinning--let the circular saw wind down before retracting it from a partial cut.
7. Removing the blade guard--pro framers will sometimes remove or pin back their circular saw blade guards. Don't do this!
8. Don't set a saw "blade down"--you're supposed to flip circular saws over when you set them down. This prevents an exposed blade from causing the saw to kickback or run away.
9. Starting up with contact--make sure your circular saw blade is not in contact with wood when you start it up. Pull it back just a bit, then spin up the saw.
10. Cord drag--be careful of you're cord getting hung up on the end of the board when you're pushing the circular saw forward in a cut.
11. Forgetting trigger discipline--keep your finger off the circular saw trigger until you're ready to cut with the saw!
