Find Replacement Capacitors for Your Mitre Saw

Scheppach, Woodstar, Kity and Parkside are widely used brands in DIY, woodworking and renovation workshops. Many mitre saws equipped with single-phase motors rely on a motor capacitor to operate correctly.

If your mitre saw no longer starts properly, lacks power or only produces a humming sound when switched on, a faulty motor capacitor may be the cause.

This category includes a selection of replacement capacitors for mitre saws, compatible with numerous Scheppach, Woodstar, Kity and Parkside models.

What Is the Purpose of a Motor Capacitor?

The capacitor is an essential electrical component used in many single-phase motors.

It helps to:

• Start the motor
• Improve starting torque
• Ensure smooth motor rotation
• Maintain machine performance
• Provide reliable and safe operation

Without a properly functioning capacitor, the motor may struggle to start or may stop working completely.

Signs of a Faulty Capacitor

A worn or damaged capacitor can cause various problems, including:

• Motor not starting
• Humming noise during startup
• Loss of power
• Difficult starting
• Unexpected shutdowns
• Motor overheating

In many cases, simply replacing the capacitor is enough to restore normal operation.

Compatible with Numerous Mitre Saw Models

Depending on the reference, these capacitors may fit many models, including:

• Scheppach HM80LXU
• Scheppach HM90MP
• Scheppach HM100MP
• Scheppach HM100LXU
• Scheppach HM120L
• Woodstar SL8LU
• Woodstar SL10LU
• Woodstar SL10LUX
• Kity MS254
• Kity MS255A
• Parkside PKS 1500 A1
• And many other compatible models

Compatibility always depends on the exact machine reference and sometimes on the year of manufacture.

A Simple and Cost-Effective Repair

Replacing a capacitor is often a quick repair that can restore your machine to full working condition.

This repair can help you:

• Restore normal motor startup
• Avoid replacing the entire motor
• Extend machine lifespan
• Reduce repair costs
• Maintain original performance

Always Verify Compatibility Before Ordering

Capacitors may vary according to several specifications, including:

• Capacitance value expressed in microfarads (µF)
• Operating voltage
• Connection type
• Machine model
• Year of manufacture
• Serial number

Before ordering, we recommend carefully checking the specifications printed on your original capacitor.
