It was an awkward cut and there was no other place to put my hand going in that direction around the top because I had to spin the barrel. So I had to be careful. Thankfully, the jigsaw doesnt cut unless I grip the button on the handle. Once I remove my hand it automatically stops (safety feature). In hindsight, I could have gone in the other direction, but I didnt think about it at the time. I also forgot to put on my safety glasses even though I had just thought about them before I started. Thanks for watching.
That is exactly what I meant when I wrote, "in hindsight, I could have gone in the other direction, but I didnt think about it at the time." So yup, I agree with that suggestion! Thank you again! 👍🏾
