George, you need to read your specs very carefully before you order. The links here are for guides that only fit chop saws and handheld circular saws. The hole is only big enough for a bolt, not a 5/8" arbor. I bought a "bladepoint" from 7 corners for mine. It's the only one i could f...

The belt tension is adjusted by the knob on the end of the top roller. If i remember right, you loosen it all the way, then crank it back 3 full turns to start.

It's all detailed in the instruction book.

I had one that screamed a little bit when you were using it, but it was quiet just sitting there running. Turned out the upper bearing behind the blade was dry.

If they don't have what you're looking for, I've got an organ-donor jigsaw in my basement somewhere.
