The main advantage of using a hand saw is its ability to make precise cuts at any angle without adjusting the blade. The blades can also be sharpened easily, which is not possible with power tools. But there are disadvantages. They can be very heavy and bulky so it is important to take care when you transport them. You could also injure your self if you don't know how to use them.
You can hold a handsaw in many ways. While cutting, keep your fingers away from the blades. If you don't, you might get hurt. You should hold the saw with your fingers close to the handle. Your thumb should be at the top of your blade. This will prevent you from accidentally touching the blade.
It is important to not put anything under the piece you are cutting when using a handheld saw. Doing this would cause the blade to slip off the wood's surface. Before cutting, be sure to check the area. Make sure there are no nails, screws or other objects under the wood.
