the work by hand or against your body is unstable. It
allows for work to shift, causes binding of the tool and
loss of control.

safer at the rate for which it is designed. Do not use the
tool for purpose not intended - for example; do not use
the flooring saw for slicing meats.

maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges, are less likely
to bind and easier to control. When mounting saw blades
be certain that the arrow on the blade matches the
direction of the arrow marked on the tool and that the
teeth are also pointing in the same direction.
