It's better to bend the blade to the side instead of front / back, but there are still limits.
How easy/hard is it to clamp the blade top & bottom? You might have to put the blade through the wood and then clamp it. Might have to use a little blue tape to keep the blade from slipping out until you get it clamped.
Not having an arm that lifts is a definite restriction. Doesn't mean you can't do things, just means it's harder. But therefore more rewarding when you do succeed.
Good luck!
