The cage has to be parallel to the front derailleur. Are you using the support plate? If you are not using a clamp on derailleur or clamp adapter then you need to use the support plate on the frame. It will never trim correctly unless the derailleur is parallel to the ring.
The support bolt which engages the support plate is shown on page 27 of the dealer manual at
http://si.shimano.com/pdfs/dm/DM-UL0001-03-ENG.pdf. It is set deep into the derailleur and you will need the long end of a 2mm hex wrench to get to it. You may need to shine a light into the derailleur to find it the first time.
Follow the steps in the dealer manual exactly and it will come out perfect.
