Default Circular saw not cutting at 90deg

You should find a small screw at the back to limit the upright position. You
probably need to adjust this so that it cuts true to 90deg in he upright
position, same probably goes for the 45deg position at the lower part.

Hi
I have bought a B&D circular saw (http://tinyurl.com/ypqbd) and using it
today I've found it is not cutting at 90degrees. In fact (if my maths is
correct) it is more like 88-89 degrees or about 1mm out when cutting 30mm
of timber. There seems to be quite a lot of lateral movement of the blade,
which I assume is causing this.

Should I be expecting more accuracy from this? Although not a major
problem at the moment, I would have hoped for better. Are there better
alternatives out there in the same price bracket (£60)?

Thanks
