Description:
The circular saw is a powerful tool but can be intimidating to beginners. While we introduce and practice the circular saw in many of our classes, this tutorial offers the opportunity to focus on just one tool for two full hours. We cover dangers of the saw and the built-in safety features designed to address those dangers, how to set up to make a safe cut, how to effectively use your body to support the tool, pitfalls to avoid, and more. Most importantly, we offer ample time to practice using the saw under supervision, with tips and tricks offered as needed.
