Here you will see regular push filing and draw filing and the proper angle to hold the file.
If you are right handed hold the handle in your right hand and the file at about 45 degrees and push the file along the surface to be filed.
Draw filing creates an extremely smoth surface and the file is held at a 90 degree angle to the work and pulled towards you.
The handle will be on the left side.
You can put the handle on the right side and push.
