I'd try a little powdered graphite first.

Thanks I will try the powdered graphite and see what happens the slideing rails all seem fine.
you get that graphite on some finished trim and that's all she wrote...
dry lube would be more better after blowing out the mech with the air line..Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming<!----><!----><!---->

I'm with you on the dry lube. Blow it clean first and get as much crud off as you can, then dry lube all parts.
Graphite works, but like ink it can really get messy.
Ditto the graphite. Beware anything that comes out in a liquid form. It can cause dust to stick to it and make the problem worse.
I think it's called Dry-SLide. We used to use it on tablesaws.
you might also check the actual mechanisms that move when you pull the handle down. I've got a Bosch 4412 and it started doing that one day which struck me as hokey. Got to looking, theres a long bar that rides down the side, goes over this wheel, and when you pull down, this bar is the lever that makes the blade guard come up. The metal bar was deformed. Angle grinder took the crushed area out, thats been a couple of years ago now. Works fine.

that's one way...
or you could be like my cousin, Saw was bound up, he forces it to move, breaks the blade guard off and broke a piece off the back end that mounts to end of the glides...parts to fix it would be around 200 bucks...
Never liked the saw much, it was a PC I'll eventually get around to buying a new one next time I need one.
I did slap him upside the head all the same
Point being, don't force things, find out what's wrong before you break something or end up getting hurt.

"Up and down seems sticky"
Look behind the blade for a large spring
Its probably fouled with sawdust or wood chips
Blow it out with your compressor or work a thin piece of wire around it.
