You are scaring it. The hamster cannot know your intention, it is simply responding to being touched by a much larger creature.
Hamsters should be gently handled when young. This will accustom them to human contact. If you leave it too long they may never lose that wariness or the instinct to defend itself against you.

How do you teach a hamster not to bite?
It's not really that you teach it not to bite as much as it's that YOU do things to not startle it and calm it before you try to pet it or pick it up. For example, before I try to pick up any of my rodents, I talk to them and slowly put my hand in, let them sniff it then take one out...I rarely get bitten anymore. They will also try to bite if they want put back, so if you're holding it and it starts trying to bite, put it back so it will learn you're not going to hurt it!
