When to add raisins when using a bread maker?

I'm making cinnamon raisin bread for the first time in a West Bend Hi-Rise bread maker. The recipe I have says to add the raisins right before the last rise... the WB owner's manual has a similar recipe but it seems to want the raisins added in the beginning along with everything else. (I guess the type of paddles and knead cycle is why some recipes say to add raisins so late?) Using this type of bread maker, does it matter when I add the raisins?
