I have a 12″ Chicago electric compoud miter saw that I’ve had for a couple of years. I haven’t had to make any miter cuts until very recently. Unfortunately when I went to adjust the miter angle, the blade did not line up with the kerf and I ended up cutting into the plastic. After returning the blade to 0° the whole blade is now a 1/2 inch off from center and I am unable to find any adjustments that would center it.

Any advice on what could be wrong and how I can return the blade to line up with the middle of the kerf? Thanks in advance.
