How To Use A Circular Saw For Beginners- Power Tools Made Easy #3
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 11. 2019
- A circular saw (commonly called a skill saw) is one of the first power saws that most people will have the opportunity to operate. Circular saws are affordable (on a scale of power tools) and multi-functional- opening up myriad possibilities for their owners.
That being said, there is a lot of information (safety tips especially) that a first-time circular saw user should be aware of before operating this tool.
In this video, I explain all of the parts of a Dewalt 20v circular saw (highly comparable to most other circular saws), detail the practical safety guidelines for using this saw, and explain the best straightforward method for operating a circular saw.

Handymom- Hi, I'm Katie! I'm a carpenter turned stay at home mom to a beautiful little girl named Devin. Now I use my construction skills to remodel our home (veeeeeeery slowly) and also do some DIY home decor projects.
Thanks for watching!!

As a newbie DIY guy, I've watched several dozen videos, some twice, picking up different and complementary tips along the way. Although this presentation is informal, it's the most complete and useful I've seen regarding safety. Pros with power tool experience might neither need nor appreciate this thoroughness, but beginners should take it to heart. Great job, Handymom!
Super great!!!!
Thank you for this, it has given me a lot of confidence. I want to be able to do things myself but if you have no one to show you, you don’t know where to start.
I wish you were my mom! My dad never taught me to use power tools or basic car maintenance. I've had to rely on CZcams for years. I'm teaching my only child to do all of the above with your help on the power tools part!
Been watching a lot of these type videos. Love your style. Beginner means beginner and sometimes they assume you already know things.
Exactly! 🤨😩
Yes the I am the " beginner beginner before that beginner beginner " lol u get the concept.
Lol exactly the next thing along those videos they talk about something else which is not related to what they indicated they will teach you about HandyMom does it perfect I don't know much about woodwork she's doing justice for some of us without any knowledge
So true!
Great video! This was a much better video than the others I watched. You actually told me what I can expect to feel and hear. You talked about the why, not just the what. Excellent stuff. I feel like I’m almost ready to start my first DIY.
My dad was badly injured by a saw & every time I have to use it I get my husband or sister to do it but this video definitely gave some good safety advice. Thanks 🙏🏻
Your video was much more in depth (than other videos I viewed) at describing and addressing safety concerns that first time users of the circular saw are concerned with and wondering about, as well as how to use it. It's easy to get over confident with a seemingly easy tool and wind up with a missing finger or cut leg, etc. Thanks for going to great lengths to drive that point home!
Extremely helpful! Thank you for this. I saw other videos and they rushed through and weren’t detailed. I just subscribed!
One of the best videos I’ve seen teaching you how to use a tool, the DOs and DON’Ts. I learned a lot from the video and greatly appreciate the details! Thank you so much!
The best guide on Circular Saw for someone who just unpacked his unit !! Just fantastic
I just bought my first circular saw. I'm glad I found your video. Thank you ❤
thank you so much for this video my husband bought me one for Christmas and I have been so scared to use it so after watching your video I feel a little bit more comfortable
Wow! Every second in this video is so helpful!!!
I am a DIY’er and bought a circular saw for the first time and will be using it for cutting different measurements on 2*8’s for my fence. So this is real helpful. Thanks
Great video, Katie! Thank you! I learned a lot. My circular saw is an old corded Craftsman that was gifted to me by my dad. It's pretty heavy and cumbersome but it does the trick. I have a bunch of the Black and Decker 20v battery pack tools and have been looking at the circular saw that runs on the same battery. You just gave me another kick in that direction!! Thanks again.
Thank you. I fix medical equipment, but after moving to the country, I find myself doing house projects, but I just don't know how to do these things. Never had anyone to teach me. I research and research and it'll take me a few days to weeks to do a project. But once I do, I finish quickly with safety as a priority. And now, I've begun teaching my daughters. You taught me the basics as well as safety. Thank you.
Dear handymom, I discovered your videos just about an hour ago and here I am still watching. You are an amazing instructor. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you so much! Yours is my third video watching before handling a circular saw for the first time. Love the way you explain about safety, besides hearing, visually seeing how we position ourselves is important and easier to remember. 📝⚙️🙏
Just went and used my circular saw for the first time, finally. Thank you so much for your video. I’ve watch so many other videos but you helped me get my nerve up! Woohoo!
I’m just now learning how to use tools to start wood working and this is one of the best explanation videos I have found - thank you!!!
I've seen a bunch of safety vids on the circular saw. A rare few of them mentioned staying on the line and never trying to correct your cut path while the blade is running through the material, so, excellent tip. Also, always support your cutting material so it won't sag and bind the blade (happens easily if you cut in the middle and not cutting an edge piece off). Also important for safety: always check the blade guard went properly back into place before setting saw down -- without the guard the saw could run circles around you, running on the exposed blade... Might save your toes! so, just check it. Thanks for posting.
Great tips! I accidentally cut someone’s patio brick once when I didn’t notice the guard was stuck before I went to set down the saw. 🙈
Extremely helpful, no BS, great video. Thanks so much!
Thsnk you 🙏🏻! Teaching myself enough to build garden beds, snd this was so clear and thorough.
Great video. Thank you so much! It's given me the confidence to try my circular saw
Thank you so much! As others have stated, I truly appreciate the thorough coverage of safety and knowing how to be safe gives me the confidence to use this tool.
I am looking forward to getting to know your channel. If this video is indicative of the overall tone, I will definitely be visiting quite often!
Thank you souch for this video. I love how detailed you were. Especially the part about audible signals. I'm new to diy as ive always had someone else to help. This gives me the confidence I can start. I subscribed and am looking forward to learning much more! Thank you!
Well I definitely landed in the right place. 😃 I’m a single mom learning all about the power tools I’m about to purchase because all of a sudden I’m intrigued with building things. I’ve watched a few circular saw safety videos but THIS is what I’ve been looking for. Because I am TRULY a beginner. THANK YOU!!!🙏🏼
This is awesome! I appreciate your great tutorial, especially on what to look for when saw is beginning to bind up.
I agree Gigi La mer. I’ve been wanting to do things myself but don’t know how to. This was a very informative instructive session for me. It gave me a little more confidence and knowledge. Phew. Thank you 🙏🏾
Brilliant! Thank you for the great level of detail, especially on the safety aspects.
Love you. You are an angel. My husband's out of town and I needed to saw something. Right now. You saved me. Great instructions, so easy to understand your instructions!! Thank you!!! So liberating!!!
Most comprehensive video about circular saw safety. Thanks for this one. Have subscribed!
Thank you for this video! Just got my first circular saw. Now I’m not completely intimidated and know how to use the saw safely! More of these videos please!
Can you do one about a reciprocating saw?
Very useful, thank you. Particularly useful about making sure the blade is up to speed before you make contact with the wood at the start of the cut.
Perfect. Just what I needed!
Thank you for such a great video! So helpful and full of safety tips!
This was amazing!!! I just bought a circular saw and can’t wait to use it. I’ve watched a lot of beginner videos & this was hands down the most informative. I feel like I’ll have all my fingers and toes after I finish this project!!! ❤
Great video. Nice overview and well explained on all aspects on how to use a circular saw. Definitely learned some stuff from this video.
Thank you so much for this!! All your explanations and tips made cutting my sheet of MDF down for shelves easy😁😁 ( I was so anxious because I'd tried a couple of days ago and couldn't 🤗)
Thanks for the video. As a circular saw newbie this was perfect.
Absolutely love the style and quality advice in this video.
I just Googled how to use the new saw I bought but I ended up subscribing.
Great work!
So clear and so detailed. What an excellent vid. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the tips! This was extremely helpful. You are an excellent teacher!
Hey so you did an awesome job explaining how to use this kind of saw!!! good job girl!
Super helpful!!! Thank you so much!
Wow! great video with lots of value.
This is the best circular saw tutorial I've seen so far, thanks!
I was brought up in an apartment in the city, spent my entire life behind the computer and doing sports, never really held a screwdriver before. Now that I moved to the countryside to live in a house with a big backyard, I started growing a keen interest in learning and doing a lot of things by myself and with my own hands. I can't explain how excited I am to learn how to use all these tools and to actually build or make things with them. Living in the countryside is great.
You’re made the directions clear and concise. I appreciate the information you gave and look forward to more videos like this, thank you.
I’m so glad it was helpful!
Very helpful. Thank you ;) Great advice!
THANK YOU!! I've learned so much today!!
Very informative and I love the humor👍🏾
I’ve had a circular saw for most of my adult life...and I just learned a whole bunch of great info! Way to go Katie!
I’m so glad!!! Always more to learn. 🙃 I never knew the thing about the notch in the front until I was fact checking this video.
Great lesson!
Great teacher! Best beginner video yet!
Awesome video! Explained it really well.
Extremely helpful, thank you!!
Awesome video. Told me what I needed to know.
Hi, You are absolute wonderful! After watching your video I could use the mighty circular saw!! it looked pretty scary at first, but you made it so clear I was able to cut my a shelf for my cupboard. Congrats! You are a great instructor!!
Thank you so much for this video! I got my first circular saw off fb marketplace a couple days ago and I've been having trouble finding videos for total beginners that break it down and tell you exactly what to do and what to avoid.
Great video. Thank you soo very much Katie.
Excellent video, very useful content Ms. Handymon! Appreciate the tips on avoiding binding especially.
So helpful!!! And entertaining too. I subscribed thank you!
Great vid, very helpful!

Awesome beginners video! Thank you for the helpful tips!
Excellent explanations for me to get started. Thank you so much.
Thank you for being so clear! I feel like I can do this now. Some videos don’t include all parts of instruction for beginners.
Great video!! Amazing tutorial
Thank you, I just got a circular saw for some projects and I was scared to use it 😭 my cuts are very pretty now :) and accurate. I saw a few videos but none explained that the blade takes up 1/8 even thought it seems so simple, I would have overlooked it 😅 thanks again
So glad it helped! Happy cutting 😊
Hi Katie! I thoroughly enjoyed your video. It was very informative. I recently purchased my first circular saw to start small projects and needed to learn about it. I happen to have stumbled over your channel. I appreciate the very detailed video and tips you highlighted. I have to admit i was a bit apprehensive to start or even open the box but after the video i'm excited to start and get some hands-on practice. Thank you so much for doing the saw overview.
This is great- thank you!
I’m making a small pull out device for underneath my bed with wheels so I can keep my room a bit more organized and so bought a Skil saw with zero experience; so this was extremely helpful and kind of helped my anxiety about using this tool! 😅😂 Thank you so much!
Thank you! Empowering and helpful introduction to a tool that can be intimidating.
I only got to 3 minutes before I had to pause and acknowledge how helpful this video is! Great content. Feeling more sure of the power tools I'll eventually use!
Amazing! I learned so much!! And I have been around tools all my life. Thank you!!
That was really good! I learned a lot. You're a good teacher
Thanks, very simple and clear steps
Absolutely smashing!
Excellent informative video ! Thank you 🙏🏽
This was so helpful thank you!! I bought my circular saw months ago but have been scared to use it but I think I’m going to try it this week!
Awesome demo! Thanks!
Thanks for explaining, I thought you did quite well and you were quite detailed.
This is such a good video as other videos I watched neglected to say about putting the blade in the right way which for a new circular saw owner like me is very important 👍🏻
Thank you very much for an insightful learning video.
Thank you girl! I'm fixing to give it a shot, and this video seemed to be the best.
Lovely jubbly and bubbly information
Thank you so much
thank you for this, im working with my brother on some jobs and well, he's been having to do everything besides running to get tools or water, im so glad i can help him out now properly
This is great - thanks! I just bought a circular saw and I was nervous to use it for the first time. After watching this video I feel ready to give it a try!
Excellent tutorial!
I am so glad I watched this. Thanks again. 👍
Thank you. Great advice for a beginner like me.
