What size blade does this hacksaw use?

Troubleshooting
Blade is not cutting effectively
Check blade tension. It may be too loose. Tighten the wing nut. Ensure the blade teeth are sharp and not worn out. Replace the blade if necessary.
Dust protection is not functioning
Inspect the dust protection area for debris or obstructions. Gently clean the area with a brush or cloth. Ensure all parts are correctly aligned.
Difficulty in cutting straight lines
Ensure the blade is properly seated in the adjustable guide. Tighten the blade tension. Apply steady, even pressure during the cut.
Frame feels loose during use
