Hitachi SCMS positive stops are sloppy

[Scott Schwake]

The positive stops on my Hitchai C10FSH miter saw have become "sloppy", once they click into the pre-set position (45, 22 1/2, etc), there is some play in the assembly. The manual wasn't much help, anyone else experienced this and been able to fix it?

TIA, Scott

There's supposed to be some play in the detents. This is so that you can make cuts which are a little bit off the usual angles, while you're trying to cut molding for a room whose walls aren't perfectly on the usual angles.
