Is anyone aware of why my dw700 mitre saw has completely stuck? so no
push or pull action as it's stuck tight - or how I go about fixing
it?

thanks in advance

oops! it pays to give the nut number. ;-)

Part 115 locking nut.

ISTR the blade guard retraction handle (the one on the front you grip)
also unhooks the slide - is that ok?

However, the locking pin (49) is not screwed in which usually stops

I didn't realise that either. Tried it again though. Moves maybe 2mm
