Hand Saws

Hazards

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Proper Use

1. Secure Your Workpiece

• Use a clamp or vise to hold your work in place.

• Never hold your work with your hands while cutting.

2. Avoid pushing the blade too hard

• Most of the cutting is done by the serrated edges of the blade, so don't exert too much force on the blade, instead, focus on drawing the blade fully forward and back firmly. 

Cleanup

1. Wood Scraps

• Place excess material in the wood scraps bin.

• Clear away dust and debris.

2. Personal Protective Equipment

• Return all PPE to its designated area.
