Move the blade until it is square to the fence then loosen the screws on the table with the degree increments and set to zero.

Anyone know how to adjust a Makita ls1216 mitre not bevel presets? My 0 degree mitre is spot on. But my 45 degree mitre preset is off my 1/4 degree.

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

Got my sliding mitre saw back from service and it's stuck in the forward position. Can't find how to unlock it.

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

I have a Makita 10 inch compond mitre saw. My owners manual has been lost and I need the tables that show what degree to set the mitre and bevel for various degrees.

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.

I lost my manual and need to adjust the bevel settings

Make sure its a compound mitre and not just a mitre saw. The check in the back for a round knob with degrees marks on it, theres your adjuster.

The vertical blade stop is not true vertical. What adjustments are there to adjust the stop?

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

Ryobi compound mitre saw sliding 10" laser line is 1.5 mm out to the cut is there any way to adjust it

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.

I have a makita mitre saw and need to adjust the angle to 45 degrees. I unlock it and try to turn it but it won't turn. Any ideas?

you have to turn the handle, it works like a bolt, you cant see it but it is tied in, you have to unscrew it before trying to move it

45 degree cut

Are you having problems with the miter or bevel ? Are you asking how to physically move the saw to that degree angle?
