In this video, we will learn how to cut wood with a saw
Caution: for this activity you will need:
Protective gloves
Closed footwear
For this task, you will also need:
A saw
and a american tooth blade.
You will also need
a wooden log
There are two steps involved when sawing wood which we will describe to you.
Step 1: Preparation
Unscrew the wing nut from the screw, position the blade in the slot and tighten the nut.
Pull the rivet at the other end of the saw and insert the blade there.
Turn the back handle to lock the blade in place
Ensure that there is plenty of tension in the blade
The part of the log that you want to saw should be elevated.
To do this, use an object like another log.
Careful; if the log is not straight, remember to align your saw so that the cut is perpendicular to point of contact
Place your hand on the log to hold it in place; you are now ready to saw.
STEP 2: Sawing the log
Position the bottom of the saw on the log and pull it towards you to make a mark.
Don't hesitate to repeat this process to make a line that will guide your saw.
Pull backwards and push forwards to saw the wood.
Don't lean on the saw, you run the risk of jamming or damaging the blade.
You should know that the wood is cut when you pull the saw towards you.
If the saw gets stuck in the wood while you push, do not force it,
but remove the saw from the cut and put the bottom of the blade on the point of the cut. Then, pull towards you to continue sawing.
The log will lean progressively before falling away completely
You now know how to cut wood with a saw.
