Was adjustment mistake. If you loosen the tension adjustment enough, the arms move so that when you put the blade in, the top arm doesnt impact the housing. Thnks for the time you spent helping.
riobi 16 in variable speed. It seems to me that neither arm goes down far enough and when the top arm gets stopped by the chassis, the bottom arm keeps moving up and bends the blade.
The top arm on my saw is hitting the arm housing. Is there a way to adjust so this does not happen. I am careful to move both arms low as possible when inserting a blade.
