Has anyone run this off an DC/AC inverter and or Generator? if so what model?

I have run the makita uc4030a saw on a vector 2500 watt inverter powered by 2 walmart deepcycle batteries rated at 110 amp hours. Fully charged got about 1.5 hours of cutting time.

I have been using this saw on a Generac 5500W generator using a 75 foot 12 gauge cord. It works quite well in that mode. I recently cut an oak tree (about 16 inch dia near the bottom) and there was no problem.

I have only used it on a generator or off 110 ac, best chain saw I've ever had. It is amazing what it will cut. I've owned Stihl, McCllough, Homelite and a few others, but this is a really nice saw.

I don't know of anyone who has run this chain saw from an inverter, but it is possible since inverter like circuits run servo motors bigger than the motor in this saw. However, 15 amps at 120 volts is more than 150 amps at 12 volts - can the battery/alternator handle it? I doubt it. A separate gas or propane powered generator would be a better bet and probably cheaper as well.

Yes, the Inverter should hook directly to the battery, with very large cables. You can run your low wattage dc loads off the Renogy 30 amp charge controller. I run some 12 volt dc lamps off the charge controller. See the diagram on Renogy's web site for an example... Follow the hookup order for the cables to the charge controller

I am sorry but I can't give you an accurate answer. The generator has never been used. Actually I have never taken it out of its box. But it is still available and I hope someone can answer your question.

This unit works awesome! However, it operates on 110 VAC. Because it have a low wattage draw it may be possible to rig a 12 VDC battery to an AC power inverter. Even better would be two 12 VDC batts in parallel with an inverter and solar panel to keep them charged during an extended power outage.

I do not have mine anymore but I do remember a power cord for it . I think it can run off 120 volts through a transformer .

I have and it works flawlessly. I've also hooked up two 350 Watts RMS (700 Watts Peak) and a 4000 Watt amp up to it and it handled it like a champ. This is the best power inverter I've ever owned.

No. The unit comes with an AC/DC converter which runs either on 110 or 220 V. I am using it on 110 V.

I did use a 12 volt 500 watt power converter to 115 volt hooked to my pickup battery to run the fan. This worked but I don't know how long the fan will run without the pickup running.

My setup is similar. I use an inverter on one side and my generator on the other. When my batteries die then i start my generator and wait like 20 seconds and it transfers. No doubt it'll work!

Yes it runs on 110ACI use mine in the gymI also have a 750 watt inverter and deep cycle battery ICan run it off at field without power

Yes, there is no problem there. As with any non-inverter generator, you won't get a rock steady 60 Hz, but it won't hurt typical consumer electronics. I'd still go with a double-conversion UPS in front of high ticket items like TV's/computers though.

Yes, I'm currently running it on 110...been thinking of converting it to 220....

I am not familiar with the inverter you are talking about, but I used this unit in a RV with inverter and generator with no problems. It pulls 1800 watts

This model cannot use AC Power. There is another model that is nearly identical that can but it's nearly twice as expensive.

I run it on a 15 amp circuit and haven't had any problems with it. I hope this helps.

The inverter is a 3500 W. 4 1500 W equals 6000 w. That would mean you would need 2. I use this inverter on my boat. It runs a household refrigerator of approximately 1800 W. The best thing about this inverter is that it will shut down if it is back fed. Since I switch from AC to DC this feature is extremely valuable. I would recommend this inverter because I have tried Xanax and I burnt out 4 them. As far as the amount of battery you need it all depends on how long you going to run the unit.

This brand has no inverter. Others like the Schumacher XP2260, Wagan Powerdome EX, and Duracell 600 have such. Of course I hope you realize that although it looks just like a house outlet, you'll only be able to run little things like a lap-top, cell phone chargers, or a few lights (not things like power tools, coffee makers, or heaters that need 500+ watts).
