Here I am cutting the pins! Note my hand position on the saw. I found that hand position and body position were very important to being able to cut straight lines. I grip the saw as the picture shows and hang my arms relaxed at my sides. I raise my arms untill the forearms are parallel to the floor (to the position that they want to naturally be in). Holding my arms in this position I face the board I am going to cut, without moving my arm I line the saw up with the cut line. This way my arm will move straight backwards and forwards without me having to adjust.
