I have a Makita Miter Saw LS1016 cannot get it to lift up, seems to be in lock position. How do I unlock? There is a little pull at pivot point, but doesn't pull out
If you're talking about the lock that holds it in the lowered postion for moving or transporting the unit, it requires a slight downward pressure before the pin will move. Press down, and then pull the pin. If this isn't lock you're talking about, please provide more details; also, if this is the lock, and it still won't move, it could have gotten bent. If new, contact the manufacturer, if not new, then you might just have to apply more pressure to move it from the detent position.
