What saw are you using?

On a table saw, the good side always faces up. You want the cutting action to always push the wood fiber back into the stock, to reduced splinter. Masking tape should be used as well.

With most or all portable circular saws, the good side should face down. Masking tape on the good side should also be used.

The Porter-Cable left handed circular saw could be different, I don't know. But one can always judge by the cutting front of the saw blade pushing the wood fiber back into the stock.

A sharp carbide tipped ATB blade should be used.
