Hi Sheila!
Power saws are very dangerous and must be respected!
1. Always prepare an uncluttered place for cutting your material.
2. Always make a mark or straight line on the object you are cutting.
3. Keep the power cord away and behind the cut you are making.
4. Always push the power saw away from your body and keep your legs and feet securely planted and away from the cut.
5. Make sure you use the correct blade for the type of work you are doing. There are heavy duty cross cut blades for heavy lumber cutting and there are fine carbon tipped blades for doing clean cut work on plywood and smaller more delicate wood.
6.Always make sure the safety gaurd on the power saw is light oiled and working so that it lifts when you push against it. Good Luck and keep your thumbs away from the blades! ;-)

Hahahaha! Hilarious comment about the thumbs! Since there are so many female handymen (?) nowadays, I would say to check out some of the websites by TLC and DIY. There is a show called Toolbelt Diva on one of the channels. Also, look at Trading Spaces girl carpenter... lots of women involved in tool things. That's on TLC, too. Good luck!
