check for slide wear on the mounts
if it has any it allows the motor and saw to drop sideways and alter the cut angle
you can compensate by moving the setting that bit extra and the locking it up
if this is a Makita, there should be a large black knob that you need to loosen to allow it to slide, Let me know if you need more help and if you do please furnish the brand and model number
You can get it at Makita.com, type in yr modal number in the search bar, download a parts breakdown or a manual, if not u can order a new sticker from makita.
If you look on the back of the saw where the pivot is, there should be a bolt on either side that should adjust how much bevel there is . As for a 90 degree angle, there should be a locking pin or stop to keep it from leaning out of square. Be sure that it is accepting the pin properly and that it is clean. Not sure if there is an adjustment on the sliding saw, but i know there wasn't on my dual compound mitre saw
rotating the laser in its' housing moves it left and right. The hexagonal bolt on the sides needs to be loosened to do this, then it can also be adjusted up and down. Make sure the trigger to the saw is locked before doing this.
