Great score from the family for my birthday yesterday.

Bill is right.
Go through the setup and then do it again. The two I have did not come "sawable" from the factory.
Not wrong on the adjustments they are close but not quite right good now but.
That saw seems to have very good adjustable ball bearing guides. In the past i got close to where I wanted to be with the saw off, spinning the wheels by hand, and then did my final adjustments with it running. Get the saw tracking well with no guides in place then start to adjust them.A little adjust of top wheel angle and the back of blade guide goes a long way and having the whole saw open is a good time to really be on your best form.
One thing to watch, set the front of the guide bearings to the back of the saw teeth or you will not have good control and the saw will cut to one side or the other and dull quickly.
Have fun and be safe!
