If you are trying to cut a straight line with a circular saw, do not stand on the cord.
The blade will pull toward the motor housing and your cut will wander to the right. It does not matter if you have a guid fence clamped in place; that will only cause the blade to jam quicker. If this ever happens to you, you may think that you have a warped blade. If you remove the blade (after giving it time to cool) and find that it is not warped, and you can put the cut back on track with a hand saw, pay careful attention to where your cord is - it's likely if the blade is straight and the cord is not underfoot, you'll have no trouble cutting a straight line against a guide fence.
