===== Safety =====
**Do:**

  * Wear personal protective equipment, including safety glasses or goggles, faceshields, and hearing protection.
  * Ensure all safety guards are in good working order before starting work.
  * Ensure the saw’s blade is sharp. Sharp blades are safer and work better.
  * Keep cords away from the cutting area.
  * Know that circular saws are designed to be used by right-handed operators. If you are left-handed, the saw will require more care to use safely.
  * Check to be sure the retracting lower blade guard returns to its starting position before laying down the saw.
  * De-energize your saw before changing or adjusting its blade.
  * Keep the saw clean.
  * Maintain good footing when using the saw.

**Don’t:**
  * Put your hand under the saw’s guard.
