The blade guides will wear after time at the
front faces. If the blade guides become hard
to be properly adjusted, turn the left blade
guide over to the right side, as illustrated in
the right illustration, and turn the right-side
blade guide over to the left side as well. The
blade guides can then be used on both sides
getting more mileage out of the guides.
The backup blade guide button will wear over
time as friction from the saw blade may cause
a worn line on its surface. If this is found to
happen, loosen the lower guide holder bolt
and turn it to rotate the button shaft to change
the buttons position on the saw blade.

the guides

BLADE SELECTION
To get the most satisfactory work from your saw, it is important to choose a blade that is
correct for the work. Blade life, cut straightness, finishing quality and sawing efficiency is all
related to the choice of blade. Blade breakage, teeth stripping, crooked cuts, and other
common complaints are, in most instances, caused by using the wrong blades. Blades are
classified by materials, tooth shapes, and types of set.
