Using Blade Guides
The upper blade guide should be as close to the
workpiece as possible. This helps ensure straight
cuts by keeping the blade from twisting or drifting
off the cut line.
To adjust the upper blade guide:
Loosen the lever shown in
Figure 21 and slide
the upper blade guide as close to the workpiece
as possible, then tighten the knob.
