Will this Metal cut-off saw work on 230V-240V?

I'm sorry, but I'm completely "power stupid"! I plug it in...it runs, I cut, I open the next beer. I tend to imagine the higher voltage would want to fry the motor, but again...what the heck do I know?

I would not buy this saw, the screw that holds on the main blade broke off after 1 use. : (

You will need to purchase a step-down transformer to be able to use this with 230 V. If you only use an adapter without changing the voltage, you will burn out the motor. Seems easier to find a drill that uses 230 V natively.

No, it will not work on 230 volts. The manufacturer lists the operating voltage at 90 to 130 volts at 40 to 70 hertz.

1 3/4 HP, 15 Amps @ 120v, 7 Amps @ 240v. The saw has the ability to be wired for 120v (common household outlet voltage in the U.S.) or 240v (most households have 240v for dryers, electric ranges and ovens) and will use half the amperage on 240v that it would on 120v. I have had mine wired both ways; if possible, 240v is the way to go as it recovers much better from bogging down when cutting through thick lumber or feeding it too fast. 120v works fine if you take your time but can trip breakers if you have other things on the line, such as garage lights, freezes, other tools (that are running), etc. 1 3/4 HP, 15 Amps @ 120v, 7 Amps @ 240v.

It works on 230V directly. You may need to change plug but no need to use step up transformer. I hope this helps.

Jonathan, We use the tool on 115 volt/60 hz.electrical service. Generally, if a product is not labeled for 230 volt, it should not be used with that voltage and in all likelihood will become overheated, fail, melt, explode .... Not a good idea. Our tool has a standard 2 pronged electrical plug for use in a 115 volt outlet and will not fit into a 230 volt outlet.

Possible, but not a good idea. You should buy a dedicated metal cutting saw. I've got the Makita 120v metal cutting saw and it will amaze you. I've cut steel up to 3/8" with no problems, yes that's over it's rated capacity but its still going strong.

No, most power tools ordered from the united states will only work with 110V. Unless you have a transformer that changes the 220V to 110V current, this tool will not survive.

The sticker on the shoe polisher says 120V, so I don't think that it will work in countries with 240V.

No it is your standard 110, lol I do not think I ever heard of a jigsaw needing 220! Hope this helps.

Hi we do sell a 240V model it's the 5500 model we don't offer it on amazon though you would have to contact us through our website for details on that at The Tool People Thanks Gary

Hello. The model I received is not rated for 230 volts. We have 120 volt plugs in the US but I would imagine KitchenAid makes ones for 230 volts.

if you know what your doing, I would say yes, 240 volts (aka 220, aka 230) is same, just diff plug/socket configurationn

Don't think it will handle 240v. However, it will recharge the 18 volt battery in 30 minutes.If that's not fast enough - short lunch break - then you can buy a second battery.Almost bought one - but have never actually needed one.BTW, Amazon sells Chinese batteries - not Makita, and not warranted, but lots cheaper.Good luck.

Yes, the one it shipped with works only on 110v. A separate adapter will have to be used for 230v.

It is 115v, 60 HZ, 15 amp motor. It should not be used with a 230v source unless you use a transformer.

I'm not sure. I've only seen the 120v models. You should inquire directly to tha Dremel website.
