Hi, you might find the cord was broken, and "someone" left it short. remove the pull start unit, look at length of the cord, (take pictures for replacment, noteing direction of cable etc )I guess it should be about one meter long, or spool should be nearly full of cable.Hope this helps you.

Lower the handle slightly and pull the pin back.

Check that you've installed the right blades. There are blades that cut on the upward stroke and on the downward stroke. Downward cut blades will kick like crazy. Also make sure the perspex is supported as best as possible to stop it from trying to flex with the stroke of the jigsaw.

If this is a direct drive usually nearby the on/off switch, if not look around the motor near the capacitor opposite of the pulley. good luck.

It could be 1 of the 2 carbon brushes when the autostop protection is activated replace carbon brush cb441 194435-6 is a normal problem when the working hours are arrived ,but if your battery is empty it will stopping at once a protection for li-ion deep discharge protection. Li ION is the best to have allways 1 of the batteries on the charger ,if working and do not full unload it change after a while before its stopped its better for the expensive li-ion batteries but if forget one batterie to use over time ( because you want to save him well-intentioned ) to use it frequently is better when its to deep discharged it will not working anymore the charger will not accept the battery anymore if its deep discharged , to rewake it preloading it only like this way a safe as possible against fire hazard not use chargers of cars or other tricks do a full working loaden battery from the charger and connect with that other battery connect both to each other with 2 1,5 kwdr wires the full battery with the not accepted not working deep discharged battery that was forget for a long time BEWARE to do only connect a polarisation as the + to the + and the - to the - the poles parrallel connect to each other not longer then 3 minutes after that remove the wires and now put immediately the not working battery on the charger and see that its accepted again, if its not working repeat it one time again , not for 3 times its a real battery problem for garantee or replacement do not work on li ion with battery chargers for a car or other full overpowered chargers without knowledge do not open or disconnect wires inside the battery then the Makita battery is immediatly dead . because of fire hazard protection li ion full battery on empty battery + to + - to - not more then 3 minutes if it still not working within 3 minutes repeat it once again be shure the wires are connected correct from battery to battery to preload if there was an battery problem of an empty battery or dead battery.

check for slide wear on the mounts if it has any it allows the motor and saw to drop sideways and alter the cut angle you can compensate by moving the setting that bit extra and the locking it up

The brake on your mitersaw is an electric brake. When you release the power switch, the switch sends current to a brake coil in the motor's field. This reverses polarity to the motor and stops the armature from spinning. Good contact from the motor brushes is also important for this to work correctly. The most common issues with a mitersaw brake are the brushes, part number,CB-154 , and the switch part number, 650618-3. It is less common but a damaged field can also make the brake not work correctly. It is part number 596356-2. https://www.ereplacementparts.com/makita-ls1216l-1234-dual-slide-compound-miter-saw-parts-c-97_98_99_40150.html

Sounds like he reversed the hot and neutral.

Too short carbon brush problem or electric field contacts or safety contact for pipe connection, only a loose contact somewhere.

You're probably out of luck unless you can find a number "melted" (heat-embossed) into the tool case somewhere.

Contact manufacturer.

Google it.

Sounds like you have a broken spring, which you may not be able to see. Type "Makita chop saw" into the search engine of your computer, and a list of dealers should come up for you to call and ask your question of. God bless your efforts.
