I need to cut some steel rod.

Should a hacksaw blade be placed in the saw so as it cuts on the push or
pull stroke or is just the users choice ?

Whatever floats your boat. The better advice is to just let the saw do the
work. Don't try to force it through the piece.

And squirt some oil on the blade while you're cutting.
