Milwaukee 12" SCMS #6955-20 - How do you square up the blade?

[Mark Muckelberg]

I just purchased the above miter saw. The blade is not square with the table and the manual is terrible. It only saws to loosen 2 scews (T-25) and use a T-25 wrench to make the adjustment, but it doesn't say or illustrate which T-25 screws to use.
Does anyone know what screws Milwaukee is talking about?
Their website was of no help so far.

New miter saw and I doubt many will be familar. Call Milwaukee Tech tomorrow...

Mark, I have exactly the same problem for this very saw I just bought, and the manual is useless. Did you manage to square the blade?

Don't know if this will help (or if you know already), but a "T-25" is a Torx head screw. The screw head will have a 6-pointed rounded-star-shaped socket on it. It is NOT an allen head (though a T-25 kinda sorta looks about the size of a 4mm-5mm allen). Do not try an allen head socket of any size on any Torx screw; you will strip the Torx.

If you pick up a T-25 socket, maybe it will help to see the T-25s and give a clue to the adjustment. You need a T-25 socket with a male end.
