He cuts next to the old cut, doesn’t use the old cut to his advantage. Look at when he starts kicking the cutoff, the old cut is roughly in the middle of it.
That being said, please do not attempt this in real life. These sign posts/ camera posts are often made of steel. For safely cutting any harder metal with a saw, you should use way slower blades (like a tenth of the speed of a wood saw). In the best case your blade will just fuse with the metal pole. In the worst case, your blade shatters or you will get a kick back that breaks your bones easily.

Maintenance departments commonly have one of those stashed in a cabinet somewhere nearby. They are very useful.
Mine does.
Am I missing something, possibly a joke? When he goes for the saw in the video the pipe is clearly already pretty much cut

Are… are your bones made of glass?
Did you modify your saw? Is it now powered using a chainsaw engine?
(You’re right about the shattered blade, and the kickback can be brutal)
