Do circular saw blades cut up or down?

In our experience, it’s usually blade-left saws where people get mixed up because they look better with the nice-looking side of the blade visible. But regardless of how it looks, it’s all about making sure those teeth cut from the bottom up. So there you have it—keep those circular saw blade teeth pointing up.
