I can't find the screws that stop to adjust the angles of 90 and 45 degrees and thus leave the machine calibrated.

Where can I order the left-handed thread hex bolt to secure my saw blade? Is it an M6 or M5. I ordered online and received an M8. Three times as expensive. (I do not have an instruction manual)

Why does it lock in the upright position and cannot be brought down? The blade spins but the saw cannot be folded down.

I've had a pcm 8s sliding saw for about 4 months. The guard has started to jam. I have to rotate it slightly before I can pull the handle down to saw. It's not the release button, it jams before the release pin disengages. It seems like a problem with the long arm which lifts the guard. It just sticks solid. If you raise it slightly it works ok. It just seems to pull straight before upward. I've taken the blade out to see why it does it but I cannot figure out how to solve this annoying problem. If I lift the arm slightly with a screwdriver it works. Help! Les Curtis

I Think that the dustcollection is very poor at my PCM 8 S. Is there missing something where the dust is cumming up to the exchaust? Maybe I overlooked some parts in the box? Even if I take off the dustbag and connect a vaacumcleaner, the dust is spread out and not into the vaacumcleaner. There are nothing stucked in the exchaust.
