How to buy a compatible stand for the ELU PS274E saw?
Frequently Asked Questions - 12/12/2025
Response Notice-Facile

For your ELU PS274E saw, the official compatible stand is the foot support (reference 31), which is listed among the accessories recommended by the manufacturer. It is an essential item if you wish to use your saw in a fixed position, especially for working on long pieces of wood.

The foot support (31) is sold with its assembly instructions. It generally comes with short support bars that can be replaced by non-standard rails depending on your work setup. This stand is designed to be sturdy and stable, allowing your saw to operate optimally on a dedicated work table.

Where to buy this stand: Contact your specialized ELU dealer directly, as they can advise you on the accessories that best suit your use. You can also visit DIY stores that offer ELU spare parts (Leroy Merlin, Castorama, Bricorama) or specialized sites in power tools. Ask for the reference 31 to ensure you order the correct model compatible with your PS274E.

The advantage of the foot support (31) is that it integrates into a coherent set of accessories recommended by ELU: you can then add guide rails (26), adjustable supports of 760 mm (30), a roller table (33), or other elements according to your needs. This modularity allows you to gradually configure your setup.

Important: The manual emphasizes that only accessories recommended by ELU should be used to ensure the safety and performance of your machine. Using unapproved accessories could pose a risk of injury. Therefore, prioritize original or officially compatible parts.

Instructions for use

ELU PS274E - Instructions for use - 1

  • Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.
  • The attention of UK users is drawn to the "woodworking machines regulations 1974" and any subsequent amendments.
  • Ensure the material to be sawn is firmly secured in place.
  • Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool and do not exert side pressure on the saw blade.
  • Avoid overloading.

Prior to operation:

  • Install the appropriate saw blade. Do not use excessively worn blades. The maximum rotation speed of the tool must not exceed that of the saw blade.
  • Do not attempt to cut excessively small pieces.
  • Allow the blade to cut freely. Do not force.
  • Allow the motor to reach full speed before cutting.
  • Make sure all locking knobs and clamp handles are tight.

Switching ON and OFF (fig. L1 & L2)

PS274E - Setting the electronic speed control dial

This model is fitted with an electronic feature to give increased motor power, automatic braking and variable speed. The speed is infinitely variable from 2,500 to 5,000min^-1 using the electronic speed control dial (60) for uniform cutting results in all types of wood, plastics and in aluminium.

  • Turn the electronic speed control dial to the required level.

The correct setting, however, is a matter of experience.

1 = 2,500^-1
2 = 3,100min^-1
3 = 3,800^-1
4 = 4,400min^-1
5 = 5,000min^-1

PS274/PS274E

  • To turn the saw ON, press the trigger switch (1) while squeezing the combined lower guard and head lock up release lever (2) as shown in fig. L2.
  • To turn the tool OFF, release the switch.
  • There is no provision for locking the switch ON.

Quality of cut

The smoothness of any cut depends on a number of variables, e.g. the material being cut. When smoothest cuts are desired for moulding and other precision work, a sharp (60 tooth carbide) blade and a slower, even cutting rate will produce the desired results.

ELU PS274E - Quality of cut - 1

Ensure that the material does not creep while cutting; clamp it securely in place. Always let the blade come to a full stop before raising the arm. If small fibres of wood still split out at the rear of the workpiece, stick a piece of masking tape on the wood where the cut will be made. Saw through the tape and carefully remove tape when finished.

Setting the litre (fig. A1)

The litre arm can be preset to 0^ , 15^ , 22.5^ , 30^ , 31.6^ and 45^ left and right. It is also possible to set the litre angle to 48^ .

  • Loosen the litre clamping knob (12) and lift the positive stop lever (11) to release the litre arm.
  • Move the arm to the required angle and lock it using the metre clamping knob (12).
  • Align the metre arm (13) as shown in fig. H1 - H3 by moving the edge of the arm to the required mark on the scale:

  • left of 0^ : red marks

  • right of 0^ : black marks

ELU PS274E - Setting the litre (fig. A1) - 1

When mitre cutting, ensure that the off-cut is not wedged between the blade and the fence, i.e. the off-cut angle is greater than 90^ to avoid that the off-cut is picked up by the blade.

Setting the bevel (fig. K1)

  • Set the 45^ / 48^ adjustment handle (58) to the required position.
  • Loosen the bevel clamp handle (19) and bevel the head to the left; there are marked positions at 0^ , 15^ , 30^ , 33.85^ and 45^ .
  • Hold the head firmly and do not allow it to fall.
  • Holding the head, lock the bevel clamp handle (19) securely.

Vertical straight cross-cut (fig. A2 & M)

  • Loosen the litre clamping knob (12) and lift the positive stop lever (11) upwards (fig. A2).
  • Engage the litre latch at the 0^ position and tighten the litre clamping knob.
  • Place the wood to be cut against the fence.
  • Take hold of the carrying handle (3) and press the head lock up release lever (2) to release the head. Press the trigger switch (1) to start the motor. It is recommended to start the cut near the fence (fig. M)
  • Press the head and allow the blade to cut though the workpiece. Allow the blade to cut freely. Do not force.
  • When the head is fully depressed, slowly pull it across to complete the cut.
  • After completing the cut, release the switch and the lock up release lever (2) and return the head to its upper rest position.

ELU PS274E - Vertical straight cross-cut (fig. A2 & M) - 1

  • For some types of plastic profiles, it is advisable to follow the sequence in reverse order.
  • The lower blade guard is designed to close quickly when the lever (2) is released. If it does not close within 1 second, have the saw serviced by an Elu authorized repair agent.

Vertical litre cross-cut (fig. A2 & N)

  • Loosen the litre clamping knob (12) and lift the positive stop lever (11) upwards (fig. A2).
  • Move the head left or right to the required angle. There are preset positions at 15^ , 22.5^ , 30^ and 45^ (fig. N).
  • If any intermediate angle or 48^ is required hold the head firmly and lock by tightening the metre clamp knob.
  • Always ensure that the litre clamp knob is locked tightly before cutting.
  • Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.

ELU PS274E - Vertical litre cross-cut (fig. A2 & N) - 1

When mitring the end of a piece of wood with a small off-cut, position the wood to ensure that the off-cut is to the side of the blade with the greater angle to the fence: left mitre, off-cut to the right right mitre, off-cut to the left.

Bevel cross-cut (fig. A2, K1 & O)

Bevel angles can be set from 0^ to 48^ to the left. Bevels up to 45^ can be cut with the litre arm set between zero and a maximum of 45^ litre position right or left.

  • Loosen the bevel clamp handle (19) and set the bevel as desired (fig. A2).
  • Use the 45^ / 48^ adjustment handle (58) if required (fig. K1).
  • Tighten the bevel clamp handle (19) firmly (fig. A2).
  • Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.

Compound litre (fig. P1 & P2)

This cut is a combination of a litre and a bevel cut. This is the type of cut used to make frames or boxes with slanting sides like the one shown in fig. P1.

ELU PS274E - Compound litre (fig. P1 & P2) - 1

If the cutting angle varies from cut to cut, check that the bevel clamp handle and the litre clamping knob are securely tightened. These must be tightened after making any changes in bevel or litre.

  • The chart shown below will assist you in selecting the proper bevel and litre settings for common compound litre cuts. To use the chart, select the desired angle "A" (fig. P2) of your project and locate that angle on the appropriate arc in the chart. From that point follow the chart straight down to find the correct bevel angle and straight across to find the correct litre angle.
  • Set your saw to the prescribed angles and make a few trial cuts.
  • Practice fitting the cut pieces together.
  • Example: To make a 4 sided box with 30 exterior angles (angle “A”, fig. P2), use the upper right arc. Find 30 on the arc scale.
  • Follow the horizontal intersecting line to either side to get the mitre angle setting on the saw (23^) .
  • Likewise follow the vertical intersecting line to the top or bottom to get the bevel angle setting on the saw (40^) .
  • Always try cuts on a few scrap pieces of wood to verify the settings on the saw.

Never exceed the compound litre limits of 45^ bevel with 45^ left or right litre.

Clamping the workpiece (fig. A3)

Always use a material clamp when cutting non-ferrous metals.

  • In most cases, the action of the blade is sufficient to hold the material firmly against the fence.
  • If the material has a tendency to lift or come forward from the fence, preferably use the optional material clamp (28).

Sawing short workpieces (fig. A4)

It is advisable to use the length stop for short workpieces (32) both for batch sawing and for short individual workpieces of different lengths. The length stop can only be used in conjunction with a pair of optional guide rails (26).

Sawing long workpieces (fig. A3)

ELU PS274E - Sawing long workpieces (fig. A3) - 1

Always support long workpieces.

Figure A3 shows the ideal configuration for sawing long workpieces when the saw is used free-standing (all items available as an option). These items (except the legstand and the material clamp) are required both on the infeed and the outfeed side:

  • Legstand (31) (supplied with mounting instructions).
  • Guide rails (500 or 1,000 mm) (26).
  • Stands (30) to support the guide rails. Do not use the stands to support the machine! The height of the stands is adjustable.

  • Material support plates (27).

  • Table end plate (25) for supporting the rails (also when working on an existing bench).
  • Material clamp (28).
  • Swivelling stop (29).

  • Place your saw on the legstand and fit the guide rails.

  • Firmly screw the material support plates (27) to the guide rails (26). The material clamp (28) now functions as a length stop.
  • Install the table end plates (25).
  • Install the swivelling stop (29) to the rear rail.
  • Use the swivelling stop (29) to adjust the length of medium and long workpieces. It can be adjusted sideways or swung out of the way when not in use.

Using the roller table (fig. A3 & A5)

The roller table (33) makes the handling of large and long pieces of wood very easy (fig. A5). It can be connected either to the left or to the right of the machine. The roller table requires the use of the optional legstand (fig. A3).

ELU PS274E - Using the roller table (fig. A3 & A5) - 1

Assemble the roller table following the instructions supplied with the legstand.

  • Replace the short support bars provided with the legstand with the irregular rails from the table on the side the table is to be used.
  • Follow all instructions provided with the roller table.

Cutting non-ferrous metals

When cutting non-ferrous metals, the machine is only to be used to perform vertical straight and litre cross-cuts in the litre saw mode. We recommend that bevel and compound litre cuts should not be performed in non-ferrous metals. The machine is not to be used for cutting ferrous metals.

  • Always use a material clamp when cutting non-ferrous metals.
    Make sure that the workpiece is clamped securely.
  • Only apply saw blades that are qualified for cutting non-ferrous metals.
  • When using lubricants, only apply wax or separation spray. Do not use emulsions or similar fluids.
  • Connect an FI or DI switch between machine and mains to avoid residual risks caused by metal swarf.

The FI switch should comply with the following specifications:

rated voltage230 V
rated current16 A
reaction time< 15 ms
fusing current30 mA

The DI switch should comply with the following specifications:

DIN VDE 0661
rated voltage230 V
rated current16 A
fusing current30 mA
all-pole cutoffL+N+PE
PE monitoring
low-voltage release

Consult your dealer for further information on the appropriate accessories.

Transporting (fig. A1 & A2)

  • To transport the saw, set the bevel and litre positions to 0^ .
  • Press the combined lower guard and head lock up release lever (2) (fig. A1).
  • Press the head down and press the lock down button (22) (fig. A2).
  • Bring the saw blade to rest position and press the traverse lock (17).
    Always use the carrying handle (3) to transport the saw.
