/_ CAUTION:
The blade guide rollers support the blade when cutting.
The blade guide rollers must rest against the back edge of the blade. THE ONLY
cutting operation where the blade guide rollers do not support the blade is when
the saw is in the scrolling mode.
When scrolling, the blade must swivel as it is guided to follow the scroll pattern.
ALWAYS move the base back and blade guide rollers up and back away from the
blade when operating in the scrolling mode.
