Relace the switch.

I am presuming the lock button has not been inadvertently pressed ... Check that first.

The condition you deacrive is dangerous. Please fix it before you use it any more.

If you require additional assistance, let me know.

Otherwise, check RepairClonic.com for parts and technnical instruction from their crack crew.

there is a stop underneath the base that should put pressure on the table to lock into any position. I would unplug tool and turn over gently and look at the condition of the threaded rod which pushes the stop and the bracket that holds it. The stop itself could be worn or the rod might not be putting enough pressure on it. Also look at the cam for the slide to make sure the tube is not stuck inside it from applying too much pressure on it. You can remove it and "squeeze shut some and then I would reverse it" If the black knob has come loose and the hex nut has backed off the rod might not be long enough to hold the stop. You can go to Makitatools.com and download a breakdown to see what I am talking about. Let me know if you need more help.

You may find, you have a lock, button, that needs to be held in, before you can drop the saw to cut.
