I read a user's review that stated this saw has a three-pronged twist-lock power connector. Is this true? Can't find any other reference to this.

Three pronged twist lock used to be milwaukee signature, i doubt skil would use these, this tool is widely used by framers, the connector is not reliable, you dont see them in new milwakee (saw all, drill.. or anything with a hard case)

The U.S. version of the saw comes with a standard 120 volt, 15 amp, 3 conductor plug. Hot, neutral, and ground.

Yes it does. I ordered two sizes Part #'s 5/32- P110413, 7/32 - P100941, Mine came with 3/16 but I don't have the part #. I use 3 different size chains on different saws.

Have never seen one to fit this saw. This has been a good saw for me overall but not sure if it would have the torque and enough power to saw metal.Sorry I don't have a direct answer for you. Would be very interested to know how you make out.Good luck. Just a last minute thought,try harbor freight .

I don't know about the previous model .... this package has worked very well. With one regular and one large battery, there is plenty of power for long jobs. I was surprised at the power (and duaration) of the saw. I highly recommend.

it is a 50amp three prong, and it does twist to lock.i was a big dummy and bought a 50 foot cord without looking at the hookup on the trailer, it is 3 prong 50 amp.hope this helps.

I am sorry to tell you that I do not know. I bought the saw with good intentions of doing some work with it, but because of a mix of circumstances, I have not been able to spend any time using it. I hope that I will be able to soon. But for now, I frankly do not know.

Yes, it's true the 643 IP is being sold with the Oregon parts. Not sure why this is being done, although I had not heard about the 20" bar. Whatever the case, I'd still recommend the saw. The one I bought is a real beast; it's particularly impressive in its power-to-weight and power-to-engine size ratios: it's a lot of kick in a small, light package. And which doesn't leak bar oil either! Like my Craftsman saws do. Buy it, you'll like it.

I just got mine...and no, it's not the bladed terminal (4 prongs.) It's the older style button terminal...which is useless on my bike. They really need to update the description, so buyers know what connection this battery has.

Yes. I bought one but haven't used it yet. I'm sure it's a good product. The saw is remarkable. It's rare that you get to say that about any product now a days!

You really DON'T want to do that. It'll most likely require removing the blade guard and that's NOT a good thing. That being said - UNPLUG IT, remove the existing blade (and NOT the guard) and see if the bigger one fits SAFELY inside the guard. Spin it by hand while raising and lowering the guard. If you have 100% clearance, then its OK to use. The slightest rub - and the solution is to buy a new saw or another blade. Stay SAFE....

I had to lookup the specs on that saw. It does have a standard miter slot, so the answer is yes.

I think the adjustable cutting angle is ONLY for the pole saw and NOT this Combo pole saw - where you can remove the pole and use it as a mini-chain saw. Check for the product items without the C... this product is CVPS... so it looks like the C stands for Combo... but I'm not so sure about the product codes because the LPS is for the Lithium and not electrical. But I'm pretty certain that the combos do NOT have the 3 adjustable angles.

Yes, it did. Now this part of the answer is going to seem strange. The blade looked strange - like not very sharp, so I bought one. Now I am no expert by any means on saws so this blade could have worked quite well but I didn't try it.

Hi. The previous responses about the blade lock and/or seating the blade may be the problem. Another thought was that the blades are not the "t" type blades required for the saw. I have had no problems with my saw and really like it.

I have not used the DeWalt saw, so I can't give you a comparison. I can say that the Bosch fence locks solidly into place and holds square to the blade even when ripping full sheets of plywood. I've had no problems with it and would recommend it as a great unit. The "soft start" feature of this saw is nice because the motor does not jerk to full torque instantly. Not sure why I like that, but it feels like the motor's integrity is being protected. I also bought the Bosch off-fall rear support, which does make a big difference with long stock. Hope that helps.

Dear Amazon Friend, YES ! My cord is certainly a Twist-lock connecting cord. It twist locks onto my generator and it twist locks onto my house mounted service box. Both ends. Not sure why it doesn't specify on this cord ? It is my understanding that all of these types of cords are a TWIST TYPE. But maybe I think that because all cords like this I've ever seen, did use a twist type locking end. Extra side note: This is a heavy duty, top quality made cord. Thick and strong, yet stays flexible in bad weather. I use this 40' cord when the weather is good but the storm has knocked me out. I leave the generator outside. When the weather is bad, like a long term hurricane situation with heavy downpours, I attach another 10' cord to this 40' cord and can then keep my generator under the cover of my carport. This brand cord works so well, I have no problem with the connection between the 2 cords either. They twist easily into each other and seal out the rain. Yes I do like this cord, and I'm picky and checked out many before making my purchase. Good Luck.
