20 Most Recent Ryobi 10 In Miter Saw With Laser Questions & Answers

Forget it. The lazer site gets obscured and useless after 5 minutes of cutting. It is the most useless improvement I've seen on a power tool in 40 years.

First, check the outlet it's plugged into. Power cords can go open, try holding the trigger (careful), and bend the power cord near the plug, and near the saw. Trigger switches can go out. saw motors can go out.

Sound like a piece of wood may have driven the arm up which operates the guard, if you remove the screws holding the guard support plate to the saw you should be able to remove the guard assembly, the arm can then be re-bent down on the end so that it meets the angled plate on the back of the guard and pushes the guard through the entire stroke, the other reason could be a damaged guard, when the centre screw is removed the plates can be removed from the guard, note how the spring and plates are assembled prior to dismantling, check the inside centre of the perspex guard and ensure the 4 protrusions which engage with the drive plate haven't broken off, if sow the guard will need to be replaced, this may now be an obsolete part , if so purchase a Makita guard as they are the same

there is a pin that you have to pull out

There may be a grub screw or adjustment on the saw which is preventing the blade from being fully lowered into the cutting slot. This would probably at the back of the saw near where it pivots.

Could be the armature or worn gears.
