Best Answer

It is simply a phrase that plays with words.

The first saw is 'to see' in past tense.

The second saw is the tool saw(noun).

The third saw is 'to saw', the verb for using the tool saw.

So to rephrase the sentence for understanding, someone has seen a saw (wooden cutter), that did not function (cut the wood).
