The trunnion needs to be moved over so that the blade will clear the insert.
OR you can use a file and widen the slot so that the blade does not hit. If
your saw is doing a great job at providing smooth cuts when ripping, I would
make the slot wider. If the results of your cuts could use some improvement
I would move the trunnion and realign the blade parallel with the miter
slot. The later being the correct way to fix the problem.

For the first time since I bought the Delta Contractors saw a year ago
I am trying to cut a 45 degree mitre in the ends of the jewelry box
sides. However when I tilt the blade to 45 degrees, the blade hits on
the insert. I noticed that when the blade is at 90 degrees the blade
is not centered in the slot in the insert, but I don't see where there
is anything I can do to move it over to the left a little bit. At 45
the blade doesn't hit by much but definitely hits. Don't see anything
in the manual about an auxiliary insert for cutting 45s so I what's
the problem?
