Presumably sawdust covers the line if it is on top since the saw cuts on
the
pull stroke.

The simple solution to that is just intermittently blow away the dust and
keep on
sawing. I do that all the time on most cuts with a Jap pull saw. It
doesn't take a
rocket scientist to cut a board with a pull saw.
true. I am specifically talking about the technique for ripping a board
here, and my puzzlement as to why I appear to be experiencing such
difficulty.
