Blade Guides
The blade guides should be positioned approxi-
mately
1
⁄4" away from workpiece if possible. This
will help ensure straight cuts by keeping the blade
from twisting and drifting off the cut line.
To adjust blade guides:
1. Loosen blade guide knob shown in Figure
37.
2. Slide rear blade guide as close to workpiece
as possible.
3. Tighten knob.
