First, make sure it is unplugged.
There should be a small black button at the the back of the saw blade housing, usually on the left hand side as you are facing the saw. It presses into the bracket that holds the hinge assembly.
Relieve some of the lateral pressure on the button by leaning lightly on the top of the saw blade housing and push the button in. It will reflex back out to your finger, so let it.
Be careful that the spring-tension in the hinge assembly does not cause the saw blade housing to smack you in the face, because it just might.
Happy cutting!

To make miter cuts without a miter saw, you can use a miter box and a handsaw. A miter box is a tool that helps guide the saw to make precise angled cuts. Simply place the piece of wood in the miter box at the desired angle, then carefully cut along the guided slot with the handsaw. This method allows you to achieve accurate miter cuts without needing a miter saw.

To cut baseboard with a miter saw effectively, measure and mark the desired length on the baseboard. Set the miter saw to the appropriate angle for the corner you are cutting.

The term "miter" in "miter saw" refers to the ability of the saw to make angled cuts, typically at 45 degrees, which are commonly used in woodworking for creating joints, such as those in picture frames or molding. The saw's adjustable base allows users to set the angle of the cut, enabling precise and clean miter cuts. This feature distinguishes miter saws from regular saws, which typically make straight cuts only.
