How old is the saw ?

 

[DIYRAY]

no help from B&Q just a phone no for mac allister and they say if out of warrenty get a new motor from local tool supplier.it is only two years old but i have lost the paperwork for it,maybe i should just bin it and get another one

bin it always get a brand name that you can get spares for

axminster do good value tools for which spares are available.

screwfix etc; are a bit frustrating, they will give you a new one for up to 3 years but i don;t like the waste.

I got one of the big MAC miter saws a year or so ago. Few issues with it, but seems to be healthy.

If you've not been using it heavily, you may be able to return it under the sale of goods act. Simply put, if it broke in two years with little to light use, then it's not fit for purpose and you should be entitled to a refund.

If you've been flogging it like a horse (as I do with mine) then that probably wont stand

if its from b&q just take it back. Thats all we normally do and if you dont have the paperwork they will just swap it for another but wont refund
