Blade Guides
The rear blade guide should be as close to the
workpiece as possible. This will help ensure
straight cuts by keeping the blade from twisting
and drifting off the cut line.
To adjust the rear blade guide:
1. Loosen the knob shown in Figure 24 and
slide the rear blade guide as close to the
workpiece as possible, then tighten the
knob.

The front blade guide has a wire brush that makes

and extend blade life (see Figure 25).
