Looks like he may have been using the saw to get a nice starter slot going, then return to the ladder to finish it.
I’ve done that. No biggie.

A tinknocker bud told me this story years ago and insists this is true:
Two guys he was working with on a project were on a scaffold installing a run of duct. For some reason they couldn't reach what they needed to so they slid one plank outside of the scaffold frame for #1 tinknocker to stand on while #2 remained on the scaffold to be a counterweight. All was well till #1 said "Gimme a hand".

On one hand, I’ve worked with a lot of tin knockers, so it could be believable, but I’ve also met some of the best tradesmen in the world being tinners!

Yup. The company I retired from had all the trades, but we were heavy on electrical and mechanical. All trades have both Einsteins and Gomer Pyles

He may have also lost his carpenter’s pencil and is using the saw to mark the rafter, joist, beam, etc.
