One who touches the handle of a bowsaw, at either end, is tamei. [One who touches] the string, the band, the bridge, the dowels, a carpenter’s press, or the bow-shaped handle of an auger is tahor. R’ Yehudah says: Also one who touches the frame of a great saw is tahor. One who touches the bowstring or the bow, even if it is stretched, is tahor. A mole trap is tahor. R’ Yehudah says: As long as it is set, it is considered connected.
