The blade I have (which came with the saw) is as tall
as the wheels are deep. Is it ok to have a blade that's
taller than the wheels? It seems to me that a shorter blade would
be more likely to stay on the wheels...
I did some research last night-- I was pissed off enough to
quit trying to make the saw work and have a beer, and I try to
not run equipment when I've had alcohol. I found these two pages
which detail a procedure heretofore unknown to me- alinging the
wheels. They're for wood saws but the principle should be the same.
I'm going to check (and fix, most likely) the alignment later today.

Thanks everyone for the advice and links!
