For a carbon steerer, I would definetely take it to a bike shop. With a hacksaw (I have read) you can compromise the layers by creating a crack at the seams by cutting against the fibers...or something like that. Anyways, the fear is that over time that small crack can turn into a bigger crack and snap...
