4. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your Einhell TC-MS 2513 L Miter Saw.
- Workpiece Placement: Place the workpiece firmly against the fence and on the saw table.
- Securing the Workpiece: Use the robust clamping device to securely fix the workpiece in place. This is crucial for preventing movement during cutting and ensuring safety.
- Setting the Cutting Angle (Miter Cut):
- Loosen the locking handle for the swivel plate.
- Rotate the swivel plate to the desired angle, indicated on the scale. The high-quality swivel plate allows for exact angle adjustment.
- Lock the swivel plate in position with one hand.
- Setting the Bevel Angle (Tilt Cut):
- To make miter cuts, the saw head can be tilted to the left.
- Adjust the tilt angle as required and secure it.
- Using the Laser Guide: Activate the mains-powered laser. The laser line will project onto your workpiece, indicating the precise cutting path. Use this guide for quick and accurate positioning.
- Making the Cut:
- Ensure the area around the blade is clear of obstructions and your hands.
- Press the power switch to start the saw. Allow the blade to reach its full operating speed (4000 rpm) before beginning the cut.
- Slowly and steadily lower the saw blade through the workpiece. Do not force the saw.
- Once the cut is complete, release the power switch and allow the blade to stop completely before raising the saw head.
- Using the Integrated Stop: For repetitive cuts of the same length, utilize the integrated stop feature to ensure consistent and precise results.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your miter saw.
- Cleaning: After each use, disconnect the saw from the power supply. Clean the saw thoroughly, especially around the blade guard, table, and dust collection port, to remove sawdust and debris. The sawdust collection bag should be emptied regularly.
- Blade Inspection and Replacement: Regularly inspect the carbide-tipped saw blade for sharpness and damage. A dull or damaged blade can lead to poor cuts and increased strain on the motor. Replace the blade when necessary, following the instructions in your detailed product manual for safe blade removal and installation.
- Lubrication: Periodically lubricate moving parts as recommended in the full product manual to ensure smooth operation.
- Cord Inspection: Check the power cord for any signs of damage, cuts, or fraying. Replace damaged cords immediately by a qualified professional.
