Default Craftsman mitre saw problem

Hello. I have a craftsman 10" sliding compound mitre saw.

When set for a 45 degree bevel, the blade strikes the left plastic table
insert. There is no adjustment possible on the saw, and it looks as if
it would slice at least 1/4 " off the radius of the insert. All other
angles, dangles and bojangles do not interfere with the table inserts.

Has anyone else encountered this, and if so, what is the workaround?

Thanks in advance

Does the saw have a 50-deg bevel, maybe bevel stops to adjust? The
story IS don't buy a miter saw you cannot "tune-up".

See if your blade bevel is 45-degree with a speed square.
