Exclamation Unable to adjust blade angle on TS

I just got a new Steel City 1.75 HP cabinet saw and it seems the front trunnion and the gear that adjusts the blade angle do not touch. Has anyone had this problem? Is this something that normally needs adjusting or is there something wrong with my internals? The saw is awesome and was a great price. I moved up from my cheapo Firestorm with 12 in rip capacity to a real saw with 50" rip capacity.

thanks.

I would be reading that manual and a phonecall, since it is new they are the ones to call and ask.

i agree with skymaster, check your manual and give Steel City a call. i've heard great things about them and their support.
once you get that thing running and are able to try it out, please add a review under the tool reviews section. i'm still looking for a TS

It turns out the front trunnion had come out of the track. Now that I think of it, I wish I took some pictures. I cannot say enough great things about the service I got from Steel City. I got a call back on Monday after leaving a message Sunday night. Jim really was helpful and asked a couple questions and figured it out in minutes. They are going to send me a tenoning jig for my trouble :)
