Article: Start at the edge of the material you're cutting and slowly push the blade through it. Go slow at first, making sure to follow along with the line you want to cut. Keep the shoe (or the base plate) flat against the material you're cutting to ensure you're making a straight line. Continue guiding the saw until you completely cut through the material. Don't force the machine through your material since you may break the blade if you push too hard. Let the machine do the work for you. Keep your fingers away from the saw while you're cutting since the blade is exposed. Install a fine-toothed blade and set the speed of your saw to the slowest setting. Slowly guide your saw along the curve you're cutting out, turning the back of the saw in the opposite direction of where you want the blade to go. Use a compass tool to draw the curved lines on your material to ensure you get a smooth outline. That way, as you work through the curve, the material will fall out in smaller pieces and relieve the pressure on the blade Look for a screw on the bottom or back of the shoe, and turn it counterclockwise to loosen it. Adjust the angle of the shoe to the angle for your cut and tighten the screw to secure it in place. Set the shoe flat against the surface you're cutting. Your blade should now be at the angle needed for your cut. Miter cuts are common for making 45-degree angles and creating clean joints between wood. Start with a drill bit that's slightly larger in circumference to the width of your saw blade. Drill a hole in each corner of the area you want to cut out. Feed the saw blade one of the holes and turn it on. Follow along with the outline for the area you want to cut out towards one of the other holes you drilled. Work from hole to hole until you're finished with your cuts. This allows you to make a cut out in the middle of the material without cutting in from the edge, like if you needed space for a vent or outlet.

Guide the blade through the material you're cutting. Cut along curves by turning the back of the saw. Adjust the angle of the saw's shoe to make a miter cut. Use a drill to make starting and stopping points for cutting a hole in your material.
Article: Weighted vests are a great way to add resistance to your push up and build your muscles further. Strap the weighted vest on as tight as you can while still remaining comfortable. This way, you can prevent the vest from sagging and hindering your movements. Then do your normal push ups. You can purchase weighted vests from your local sporting goods store. This is a great way to add resistance that's an alternative to wearing a weighted vest. Fill a backpack with books, bags of rice, or other heavy objects until the weight of the backpack is equal to or less than 20% of your body weight. Then do your normal push ups. For example, if you weigh 120 pounds, then your backpack should weigh a maximum of 24 pounds. It's important to keep the weight within 20% of your body weight in order to prevent overloading your spine, shoulders, and elbows. While you are doing your normal push up, ask a friend to place their hand on your upper back. Tell them to apply pressure on your back as you raise yourself up from the push up. Make sure your friend applies consistent pressure for each push up.

Wear a weighted vest. Use a weighted backpack. Have a friend apply pressure onto your back.
Article: Your dog will inevitably have occasional accidents, even after successfully house training him. Accidents may happen frequently during the training process. It's important to remember that your dog did not mean to have an accident, and that he will eventually learn not to make it a habit. Do NOT yell at your dog or rub his face in the mess when he has an accident. This does not help your dog learn from his mistakes, and it may cause him to become fearful of you. Take accidents in stride and be patient with your pet. Any time you observe your dog urinating in the house, make a startling noise, like clapping your hands or saying "Go outside". Then take your dog outside and praise him if he finishes relieving himself outdoors. Dogs have a keen sense of smell, and may come to associate a former accident spot as an acceptable bathroom location if the smell is not properly cleaned away. This can be especially problematic in younger puppies. Use an enzymatic cleaner to thoroughly remove odors after accidents indoors. If you have a yard, you can use indoor accidents as a training tool. Any time you clean up an indoor accident, take the urine-soaked paper towels outside to the dog's usual bathroom area. Leave the paper towels outside on the ground, using a rock or stick to secure them in place. Once your dog smells his urine on the paper towels, he will firmly associate going to the bathroom with being outside. As soon as your dog learns the lesson and begins relieving himself outside again, you can remove the soiled paper towels. If your dog is having a hard time refraining from relieving himself indoors, it's possible that he's suffering from a medical ailment or emotional problem. Consult your veterinarian to determine whether your dog has any of the following problems: urinary tract infection (UTI) surface preferences (desire to eliminate waste only on certain types of surfaces or textures) anxiety/fear of going outdoors separation anxiety urine marking of household objects submissive or excitement urination
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Do not punish your dog for accidents. Interrupt indoor accidents when you observe them. Clean up accidents thoroughly. Recognize potential problems.
