NEVER push hard. i've ruined so many cuts by being an impatient fuck and cutting harder than i should have been. let the weight of the saw with very slight pressure do the cutting

Concert Bb IS tuned relative to A440, but they are not the same: concert Bb is a half-step higher in pitch than concert A. Also, if you transpose into Bb maj, you'll find that tuning to A would make the instrument flat, because A is the 3rd note in the order of flats: since you're already in a key with 2 flats (concert Bb,) than A is naturally the flattest note, as it tries to resolve to Ab (which would then bring you into concert Eb, and then D would be your flat note, etc.)
