Blade Guide Arms

The blade guide bearings are mounted on the front and rear arms. The rear arm is adjustable and should be set as close to the workpiece as possible. This will help ensure straight cuts by keeping the blade from twisting and drift- ing off of the cut line.

To adjust the rear blade guide arm:

Loosen the knob shown in Figure 18 and slide the rear blade guide as close to the workpiece as possible, then tighten the knob.

The front blade guide arm has a self-adjusting wire brush that makes contact with the blade to help clear away chips and extend blade life (see Figure 19).
