A handsaw is a manual tool used for cutting wood or other materials by hand. It typically consists of a blade with teeth along one edge and a handle for gripping and applying force while sawing. Handsaws are commonly used for woodworking projects or small cutting tasks where a powered saw may not be practical.

What are hazards for a handsaw?
