Trouble with blade alignment in my Dewalt

I was given a new Dewalt for Christmas. The blade is doing something odd and I'm not sure what you call this. My blade when I look at it seems to shimmy side to side. I found a straight edge to check it and it is just a tad off. I can't find just a tad marking on the bevel. Is there away to fix this?

I am also wondering if this is why I can't make a crisp right hand corner with the saw?

Rick Hutcheson has a fix for this problem on his website "www.scrollsaws.com". It's under the Dewalt Tuneup section. The thumb screw that tightens the blade pushes up against a headless allen set screw that is adjustable. A few turns one way or the other on this set screw will move the blade side to side and you should be able to line up the top and bottom fairly easily. Hope this helps.
