How do you clamp the bottom of the blade? I know how to clap the top but cant see how to clamp the top.

Not quite sure what you mean.  The blade should slip in between the set on the left side and the T screw on the right.  When in place, just tighten the T screw.

You clamp the bottom blade clamp exactly like the top blade clamp. I find it easiest if the arms are in the lowest stroke position.

Glad you got that mystery figured out.. I've been there done that a few times in my life.. One day while working on a Jeep in my younger days.. and a friend stopped by apparently I put one of my wrenches in my back pocket which is something I never did.. after he left I hunted hi and low for that wrench.. even called my friend and accused him of messing with me.. even gave up drove to town and bought another one.. That night when getting ready for a shower and emptying my pockets guess what.. LOL  I have to wonder if the person at the counter of the store after me telling them the story of my lost wrench happen to have seen it in my back pocket after turned around and walked away from the checkout counter..

OK, I don,t feel so bad now as I thought I was the only one that strange things of losing things in plain site only happened to me! I spent most of the day Monday trying to find  the tool to deepen the opening for a wood screw and I had replaced it right where I could find it! I looked and searched through the tool boxes, all of the drawers, in places where I knew it wouldn't be and finally give up and mickey moused the opening with a small knife. Later I needed a different drill bit, went to the box it was in and quess what, there was the tool right where I put it so I would know where it was!

You want embarrassing moment? Ok,  I was working as a maint mechanic at a small production facility and took over a repair started by someone else.  I should add this was in the days before lockout/tagout. I finished the small repair, turned the breaker back on and nothing. I checked a few things and  decided it might need the electrician. He came down, took a quick look and then just plugged the machine into the outlet on the breaker box. Took awhile to live that one down.

My wife calls that a "John look". The number of times I have lost something and gone back over everything methodically, then declare it lost and project buggered, the War Office will say, "Is this what you where looking for?" and yep there it was, any closer and the bloody thing would bite me.

Don't feel bad.  One day your saw will run and not cut.  You will scratch your head and then realize you put the blade in backwards.  Trust me it will happen.

Becky calls that "the intra-uterine tracking device". Works on stuff I lose, but never works on her glasses, etc.

We all have this moment. It seems that I spend a lot of time looking for things I just had in my hands. Most frustrating was many years ago working on my Brit sports car.  ll of the bolts on the car are American standard except for one metric screw on the carburetor I was rebuilding. That was in the days before the local hardware stores had metric hardware. I could not find that screw. I did scavenge one from another carburetor.  Years later I was doing a purge and general cleanup on my work bench, picked up a cap from a spray can and there was the screw.
