Maybe you have a different cross cut sled to mine.

My TS has T slots [2] which run parallel to the saw blade. These slots
are used in "my" sled to guide it as it runs past the blade.
The fence is not used, thus it's accuracy is irrelevant.

Any ideas how to do it?

There are usually some grubscrews that work against a bolt somwhere near
the handle.
