JKD Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) First off I must say,,,, THIS IS NOT A SALES THREAD !!! Β Here's a question for the technical guys on here,,,, I've got an ELU flip over saw that needs some tlc, but is not needed by myself any longer, and I'm not knowledgeable enough to sort the problems. I've had it for about 18 years, but only used it on large jobs because of its size/weight/cutting abilities. So although it's been used, it's not abused or over-worked. The issue is it needs a 'service', but because of its age, spare parts are no longer available [apparently]. It still works but isn't safe to use in certain functions without some tweaking, fettling etc. I did try to sell it years ago, when it was functioning perfectly, but the only interest was from the police, checking if it was stolen, which it obviously and most definitely wasn't/isn't ! What I'd like to do is pass it on to someone who is able to fix its 'issues' [which TBH are minor] and then use it, instead of it sitting in my shed gathering dust. Here's a couple of pictures showing what it is, but if someone is interested in taking it off my hands, more details/info/pictures will be forthcoming. Many thanks for reading and any advice offered will be most welcome π Β Edited August 12, 2020 by JKD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's main use, about 5 years ago, was on a detached house complete roof extension, so LOTS of cutting and trimming and running timber through the bench side. It only started to show faults on the next very small task π Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKD Posted August 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 Sorry chaps, perhaps I didn't make it quite clear in my opening post. I will be passing this on to someone who can fix it and use it, but for an agreeable figure, hence my mentioning "THIS IS NOT A SALES THREAD". In the first instance I'm asking for advice/guidance from anyone with the knowledge and expertise of such a saw, before it gets put up for sale, either on here or elsewhere. And a further point to note is, I'm not a greedy money grabber π Hope that's cleared up any confusion π Β Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKD Posted August 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 OK, here are some more pictures of it set up. There are some add-ons that I've never used. Having a good look at it, I think it needs completely taking apart, cleaned and put back together. A few things are broken/need sorting,,,, the tilt locking lever has become detached, and the angle release catch is stuck, but probably only needs cleaning. The blade's angle also isn't a true 90Β°, but a service will probably sort that. The blade guard is awkward to release, but does work properly,,,, again, a clean would sort this I'm sure. Finally the power supply flex is damaged and will need replacing,,,, easy job. I did eventually do a Google search for spare parts and most are available. I'm just not the person to do these sort of things,,,, give me a big construction renovation/conversion and I'm the man for that π Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
