What it concludes

• Locking your wrist and engaging your forearm provides a wider sighting radius for more accurate cuts.
• A worm-drive circular saw functions best as a drop saw when starting cuts.
• Starting a cut at a 30-degree elevated position with the blade guard hooked allows you to establish the line before committing to the trajectory.
• Cutting the far side first on wide sheets prevents pinching and loss of control.
• Bevelling the saw blade 5 degrees when making patch cutouts ensures the edge covers the seam.
