Broken and also is not operating correctly. It sticks when first pulling down and does not hold itself open, requiring someone to manually hold open the blade guard.
Will be ordering a new blade guard immediately.

Might have found the cause of the “hard-pull”. I’m talking with Makita to order parts for this as well as the blade guard.

Parts are on order.
Blade guard and inside parts installed. Miter saw is now functional again and pulling down smooth.
Rollers weren’t sent with the new blade guard so I’m ordering a new one to complete the repair. The saw is operation, just be aware of the rollers.
Let me know if that has any negative effects and also if there’s any operational issues!
Happy chopping.
