[@diyforknuckleheads]

No worries at all Robert.....glad to help mate 👍🇦🇺😁

[@rey11able]

Perfect for small projects. Not got a lot of power so if the wood starts to flex it stops the saw pretty easy. Use it for small tasks and you will be happy. Safety system Works great kzbin.infoUgkxjpBI8OOeUXib_iT7UomCrQ-uauwZJ62c .lose your grip on the saw it shuts off and the sheath closes over exposed saw.

[@johnmckee7937]

Very Good tips! I might add,"Don't stand behind saw." If it does kickback, let off trigger."

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Glad you found the vid useful John 👍👍

[@billm.8220]

Great safety tips. One other one I didn’t see was to adjust the height of the blade to only cut the thickness of the material thus saving the blade wear.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Yeah that's a good one Bill 👍 Thanks for watching mate 👍😁🇦🇺

Loved the video unc!!! I always live the dad jokes🤣🤣🤣. Ive had my saw for about a year now and i always use these tips and nothing happend yet, also i just use an old plywood sheet that i have to cutt on because its easy and everything is supported.

[@andrebartels1690]

Your safety tips are good as gold. Especially because you don't just tell what to avoid, but you present a solution for very typical situations. One little bonus tip, that works wonders: Make your work bench heavy. It will stand more stable, it will not wander off when pushing with the circular saw. Even folding work stands can be weighed down with some bricks on a board.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Yeah great tip re the Bench Andre! Thanks for taking the time to watch mate 👍😁🇦🇺

[@nathanstaley4588]

Hey Shane, one of the best things I ever did when it came to a circular saw was buy a 165mm 18v Makita. The smaller size does about 80% of what my 235mm Hitachi saw would do, so I only need that on special occasions. But the best thing about the 18v cordless, is the brake on it. Release the trigger and the saw stops in only a few seconds, and it has the added benefit of no cord, which means no tripping hazard and no fluffing around with the cord accidentally getting caught. Just my 2 cents

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Yeah all good reasons Nathan 👍👍 Thanks for taking the time to leave the feedback mate. Cheers 👍😁🇦🇺

[@firebladex8586]

I just bought the DeWalt Atomic series 4 1/2" 20V saw. Because of where I am and the light cutting I do it's much more practical than my standard 7 1/4" circ.

[@SoldattoHD]

I believe the brake also stops it from kicking back as it stops when the pressure gets too high

[@tonybells131]

As usual, good job mate !

[@diyforknuckleheads]

No worries at all mate....Just take it easy and don't rush anything 👍😁🇦🇺

[@OzSawdustMakers]

Wise advice and funny as always. This is a great reference for circs. One of the clearest remaining memories from my childhood is my dad coming close to taking his arm off with a circular saw. Early 90s, im out the backyard with him and hes cutting on saw horses, it kicks back and he gets a scratch from one end of his forearm to the other. He said some words, put the saw down, sat down and chain smoked while staring at the ground/sky/ his arm!! *Cue The Wonder Years opening credits*

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Mate!....no wonder the old man had to sit down 😬 Yeah that's one of those things that happens to anyone who uses a circ at some point....scary as A.F! Thanks for watching Ryan and hope all's well down there mate 👍😁🇦🇺

[@Smedleydog1]

It's always to have a safety reminder once in a while. Thanks.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

[@bevett1]

I had a circular saw kick back when it hit a hidden knuckle in the wood. Fortunately, I was not standing directly behind the saw at the time. Great video - well presented

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Thanks mate and yeah you're right.....you gotta be careful 👍

[@The_Real_Mier]

Thanks for this important video. Not only for newbies like myself, but also as a wake up/freshen up video for all the experienced people who might even be more at risk than us ‘still a bit intimidated starters’. Because inattention is always just around the corner… There are SO many videos online with ‘hacks’ and stuff and all to often I see people with their fingers RIGHT NEXT to the spinning blade!! And they DARE to give advice !! Truly irresponsible!

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Thanks mate.....and you're right, complacency can often lead to an accident. Thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺🎄

[@robotmuseum]

This video came across my feed at the perfect time as I'm finding that I've been using my circular saw more often. As a beginner, this is life saving information. e.g I did not know about the clamping situation as my dad always just did the yoga poses to hold things down so that's where I learned. Gotta go buy some clamps. What's a good size clamp to get for a beginner that would be good for most household applications?

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Cheers mate! Glad the video was useful 👍 6" clamps are pretty handy but having 12" clamps just gives you a bit more flexibility. Cheers 😁👍🇦🇺

thanks for the advice! Just made some safe cuts for some fence boards today that folks were gonna charge $2k for 😂 Electrical eng here with electricians apprentice training so lmk if you ever have any electrical questions! also -- one thing that I learned on my first cut today was to run the saw a few inches past the end of the piece, if the guard is set to make a minimum depth cut. I stopped before going a couple inches past the end of the board (given my view from above) and the cut wasn't perfect as it left a tiny chip at the end which I had to flake off.

I used my circular saw (a ryobi cordless) for the first time a few months ago when I needed to cut some yellow tongue boards to size to provide some flooring in my attic so I wasn't storing my stuff on the ceiling plaster. I probably did all the things you said not to do and I'm amazed I didn't end up hurting myself. I will hopefully be using it again (I've been inspired by a lot of your DIY project videos), and I'll definitely be a lot more careful next time

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Thanks Simon 👍 Yeah mate you do need to be a little careful...it just takes one small loss of concentration to end up with a very bad situation. Cheers 👍😁🇦🇺

[@sawdustandsurvival]

Such a great video. There's a lot I didn't know there and you may have saved me an accident. It seems that so far I've been extremely lucky. When cutting sheet material I've been using polystyrene sheet behind it and cutting it on the floor. And on normal lengths of wood I've only had to cut end pieces, so only support one side. I can now see why this has stopped things from binding on me. If I didn't have polystyrene sheets to hand for sheet material, or if I needed to cut a piece of wood in the middle then I may have done the ways that you showed me can cause binding. BTW I do like your celebratory jazz "SKI-BOP". I do this occasionally at home and my wife hates it 😄

I love my 20v Dewalt. I mainly use it for demo & rough cuts on construction lumber. It's powerful enough to get the job done, but very easy to mandarin control of at all times, even in sketchy situations. And the blade stops very quickly upon release of the trigger. I won't win any fine woodworking awards, but it's pretty much perfect for my needs.

[@lenalbanese5231]

Thanks Shane, great tips. I've seen the odd tradie occasionally doing some strange yoga poses, including one bloke I saw balancing a board on his knee and trimming the end with a battery power saw. I used to think it doesn't look right but they're qualified and trained they maybe that's how they were taught to do it. After watching your video, it clearly wasn't right, he was taking a shortcut and it will come back to bite one day. One other thing, I knew about putting lengths of timber under large sheets, but I didn't know they were called gluts. Learnt a new word today. Thanks Knackers.

Thanks for video. I recently bought a circular saw and discovered for myself how loud it is when I switched it on for the first time (no blade attached). So I ordered a pair of ear muffs that arrived a few days ago, and plan to use the circular saw for the first time tomorrow (clamping down my work pieces for sure).

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Good luck with it mate! Take your time and you'll be fine 👍 Thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺

[@bhartissimo]

@@diyforknuckleheads Thanks. I made sure to keep both hands on the saw, stand to the side... but it didn't move smoothly... so I stopped. Everything seemed OK, so I tried again... but same thing... and there was a strange smell. "It's burning the wood, maybe I'm moving to slowly," I thought to myself. That's when I decided to have another look at the blade and realised I'd make knucklehead mistake #1 - the blade was on the wrong way. Doh! It was much better after I changed it. :)

@@bhartissimo Hahahahha...we all make mistakes mate 👍😁🇦🇺

[@bhartissimo]

@@diyforknuckleheads I don't mind that mistake, especially since I discovered it soon enough. :)

Bloody grouse tips for any beginner mate as all accidents happen in a second. I’ve encountered kickback but luckily it was with an underpowered battery saw but it proves vigilance is imperative. Btw that was a good joke 👌👏👏👏👏 & massive congratulations on 300K subscriptions 🇦🇺🍻👍

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Good ol' kickback mate ...the scourge we all experience at some point in time 😬 Can't believe you liked the joke!....l must be doing something wrong 😂 Thanks for watching Harry 👍😁🇦🇺🍺🍺

Safety number one. I watch different chanels and always try to not skip safety tip videos. I liked woodworking yoga

[@diyforknuckleheads]

😂....Thanks Gior! I almost pulled a hamstring doing one of those moves 😂

[@lechatbotte.]

I’m here for the Dad jokes but the safety tips are icing on the cake. All saw accidents are bad news.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Cheers mate 😁👍🇦🇺

I grew up around: chainsaws, cherry pickers, and wood splitters. My father told me as a kid if your ever doing a task and it starts to feel unsafe, stop because most likely it is unsafe. To this day I apply it to everything from ladders, to wood chippers, to weed whackers. Good tips! :-)

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Yeah great advice mate 👍👍🇦🇺😁

[@Saw-IT]

A good wake up. Every safety tip need to be taken seriously. My safety tip is if you have a perfect cut lined up stop and start again if you don't have all your PPE on. Those trip hazards were hilarious LOL. Thanks.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

😂 Thanks Matt and good common sense re the PPE! Cheers mate 👍😁🇦🇺

4:18 In woodwork we are told to hold both saw handles, just in case of kickback

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Very true Seth. As a left hander with a right handed saw sometimes you need to adapt under certain circumstances. Just as long as both hands are on the saw and you're in control 👍

A good video is useful. I have a circular saw Makita 6601 one of my favorite tools and I have been using it for a long time and I understand that sometimes you just forget about the safety of use, feeling like an "experienced user"))). And for beginners, this video should be watched without fail, from the instructions You can't do that with an instrument. The video tutorial is much clearer.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Thank you very much for the feedback mate....we ALL need a reminder sometimes no matter how experienced we are 👍😁🇦🇺

[@haripriyachandrasiri9140]

Your presentation is excellent. Thanks.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

👍😁....No worries mate....glad you found it useful 👍😁🇦🇺

[@adso5555555]

Great tips & dad jokes as usual! 1 tip i'd share is to use the saws depth setting every time.. avoids cutting things by accident, but more importantly it becomes much easier to follow a straight line/guide.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Yeah great tip mate 👍 Thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺

[@dominicsianot2470]

I learned a lot as a beginner

[@mickcawley4797]

Glad you avoided any injury, Shane. KZbin wouldn't be the same without some Knackers every now and again. Also can I offer my deepest condolences to your great nation on the death of Shane Warne. He may have been a pain in our Knackers during his career but he was a real sporting legend and a great ambassador for both Australia and cricket.🏏🇦🇺✝️

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Yeah Mick...it's quite hard to believe that he actually died. It's a Steve Irwin moment for sure. Naturally it has totally dominated the media over here for the past two days....he was an Aussie legend and at only 52 he certainly made the most of his life.... Thanks for watching mate 👍😁🇦🇺

[@mattwestcigarreviews]

Great video!! First time using a circular saw and this was really helpful!

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Excellent...glad you found the vid useful Matt!! 👍😁🇦🇺🎄🎄
