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 KZread 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.

So true!

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 🙏🏻

Best review on circular saw ever. She is a gem

I just bought my first circular saw. I'm glad I found your video. Thank you ❤

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.

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.

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

The best guide on Circular Saw for someone who just unpacked his unit !! Just fantastic

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 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?

This was helpful 3 years later🎉

Extremely helpful! Thank you for this. I saw other videos and they rushed through and weren’t detailed. I just subscribed!

Great video. Thank you so much! It's given me the confidence to try my circular saw

Thsnk you 🙏🏻! Teaching myself enough to build garden beds, snd this was so clear and thorough.

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.

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.

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

I’m a woman. A single mom building my very first project. A chicken coop. I’m so thankful to you. I subscribed. I plan on doing a lot more now that I’ve paid this much for a saw 😂❤. God bless you

I can work on cars all day, but never been into home repairs. Straightforward video. 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. 🙈

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 🙏🏾

Great guide. Really clear and comprehensive

loved this! I watched a couple how-to videos before using a circle saw, but none of them warned about kickback, the importance of keeping a really straight angle on the cut, or body placement! suffice to say, I found the kickback pretty alarming 😂 looking forward to trying again with all your tips in mind 🙏 thanks for creating and sharing!

Thank you! Empowering and helpful introduction to a tool that can be intimidating.

Another good tip to add for safety is how to properly secure the material that you’re cutting.

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!

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!!!

Wow! Every second in this video is so helpful!!!

9:01 great dance move to go with the great information!

What a wonderful video. Bought a Skil 5080 circular saw at Amazon and was looking for tutorial. I've used reciprocating saw but never used circular saw. It was super useful!

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!

A corn Husker, love it

Thank you, I just bought this, don't know where to start, after I watch your video, now I'm operate it more confident, thanks

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 😊

Thank you for this video and your helpful tips. I appreciate you! 🙏🙌🪚

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. 📝⚙️🙏

Well, put together Katie 👍.

This is awesome! I appreciate your great tutorial, especially on what to look for when saw is beginning to bind up.

I love your video,now I just feel more confident using my first ever circular saw as the first time.

Most comprehensive video about circular saw safety. Thanks for this one. Have subscribed!

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 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!!!🙏🏼

The first thing anyone have to know about circular saws is how not to handle them when not in use. Your video show that perfectly: as how you SHOULDNT do it. You only put the battery when you are about to use it. Its a big no no to handle it, touching the blade guard and the trigger, with the battery on. Other than that, great video! Keep up.

Brilliant! Thank you for the great level of detail, especially on the safety aspects.

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.

Thank you girl! I'm fixing to give it a shot, and this video seemed to be the best.

Thank you so much for the tips! This was extremely helpful. You are an excellent teacher!

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!!!

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!

Extremely helpful, no BS, great video. Thanks so much!

Fantastic presentation. Clear communication. Awesome posting. Thank you.

Just bought one of these bad boys. THANKS A MILL😃……….fab vid…….exactly what I wanted 🙌🏼👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Excellent video, very useful content Ms. Handymon! Appreciate the tips on avoiding binding especially.

THANK YOU!! I've learned so much today!!

I keep watching your learning guide which is the very best on here might isay. I just darent put that trigger xxx

Incredibly helpful and to the point. Thank you!

Thank you for such a great video! So helpful and full of safety tips!

Hi since your CS followers are mostly beginner's please inform them to remove the battery before getting familiar with the saw, great video's👍👍👍
