The method generally employed is to fix the stuff firmly to thebench with a hand-screw or holdfast, f. I. The cut is then commenced bymaking a short kerf with the saw held handle downwards, about three orfour strokes being necessary, then the position of the saw is reversed,drawn lightly upwards for a short distance, and then pressed downwardsin an almost upright direction ; the length of stroke is increased as theblade enters the wood, until two-thirds of its length is employed. Caremust be taken not to exert much pressure on the downward stroke,as the saw is liable to buckle and jar the hands on to the teeth.
