@hammerstone.school: Beginner mistake: don’t hyperfocus on the line markings at the front of your saw plate! You have to watch the *blade* to see if you’re following your line. To protect yourself from kickback, DON’T pull the trigger with the blade touching the wood. Position it right *behind* the wood so you can start the saw and get the blade spinning at full speed BEFORE you start cutting. ✅ Learn more at our 2-day Basic Carpentry Skills 101 class: hammerstoneschool.org/basicskills
