[Makita Cordless 10" miter stuck in bevel position]

Thanks for the good description and pictures to help me resolve this issue BevelSwitch.

I am borrowing my son's saw so I don't have the instruction manual.

I tried turning the bevel switch multiple times and I didn't think I could turn it without breaking it. The key was to slightly move the head to release the pressure, as you suggested.

Thanks much for the help.
