1. Ensure the Miter Lock Lever is fully engaged after setting the miter angle. 2. Check for debris or obstructions in the notches machined into the base that may prevent locking. 3. Verify that the locking mechanisms for the miter angle and slides are functioning properly. 4. If the issue persists, inspect for damaged or worn locking components and replace if necessary.
