There is a set screw on the carriage (with a knob for ease of use) which locks
the carriage in place for ripping. Are you sure that it's not tightened down?
That's the only thing that I can imagine would cause the symptom you describe
other than obvious physical damage to the arm/carriage or a ton of rust -
either of which should be obvious to the casual observer.

I had the same issue some time ago. I started dismantling the saw and found a
knob I had tightened thinking I should. The knob is on the saw. Loosen it up
and I believe that will solve your saw issue.
