Adjusting Hitachi C8F8 Slide compound saw

[pcupit]

Hi,

I bought this saw second hand and it is slightly out on the main axis can't cut right angles with it. I had a look but there seems no way of calibrating the saw. Anyone know about this saw?

Thanks for any help.

I had a fairly new Metabo 216mm quite similar to the hitachi

I adjusted the fence to make it square as per instructions, yours could be the same

my aeg is completely different with adjustment on the turntable itself

I find its worth checking it for square often until you are satisfied it doesnt vary as some these beasts do
