Product Information
Full details
This WORX 20V Cordless Sliding Mitre Saw (WX845.9) is ideal for DIYers and professionals needing to make precise cuts in wood, plastic, and aluminum without being tethered to a power outlet. Its key benefit is cordless freedom combined with a generous 220mm cutting capacity and a laser for accuracy. A caveat is that it requires a separate WORX 20V battery and charger, which are not included. This saw features a sliding mechanism, a powerful motor for bevel cuts, a clamp for secure material holding, and an electric brake for safety.

Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check that the safety switch is engaged.
Laser guide is inaccurate.
Recalibrate the laser following the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the saw is on a level surface.
Blade is not cutting cleanly.
Check if the blade is dull or damaged. Ensure the correct blade type is installed for the material being cut and that the blade is spinning at the proper speed.
Material slips during cut.
Ensure the clamp is securely tightened on both sides of the workpiece. Verify the material is flat against the fence and the saw's base.
