You have to tilt the blade to the right. Then the "inner screw" is revealed on the left side where the housing pivots. It is recessed in the housing and can only be seen if you tilt the blade to the right. As you tighten this screw, it will let the blade turn more to the left and visa-versa. Make sure to loosen the set screw in the back and release the locking clamp. Thanks!
