Hi, I am interested to buy this saw. I will be installing saw in garage&amp;I reside in Canada. Is 115v same as 220v? Will it work in garage? Thank you.

It works fine on 115v. That is how the saw comes wired. You probably could have an electrician convert it to 220v if that is what you wanted. It will work fine in a garage, that is where I have mine.

This saw runs on 110 AC and does not lose power with an extension cord. There are tables that will tell you how long a cord you can use based on the wire size of the extension cord and the maximum amperes of the circuit. However, I have used it with 100 foot #14 wire without any problem at all314 wire without

It is 110 and is strictly a hobby saw. I looked at one complaint where the owner thought it should be able to cut Oak and other hardwoods. Small soft stock is what I use it for.

They might recommend in the manual, but what I run is 20 amp breaker on 110v, because if you use it as a portable, that's what a typical circuit would be anyways,plus 110v wiring is usually 600v(15 to 20amp breakers) and not recommended for higher than 20 amp breakers in a house breaker box! and I have a 50 amp on the 220v , that's what I had my previous welder on also!

The label on the saw says 120v only so it cannot be used with 220v unless you used a converter, but I would check with Makita before you tried the converter. I don't know the typical plug configuration in Australia but the plug has two vertical blade prongs and a round ground prong which is typical for the US.

As far as I can tell from B&D;'s website, the 220 is variable speed, the 120 is not. See http://www.blackanddecker.com/allproducts/power-tools-drills.aspx#pg9999 There are five different 20V models in the LD series shown there (plus a 16V and a 12V). There's a compare feature (up to three items) but more info would still be helpful.

I'm sorry, but Woodcraft only sells power tools designed for 110V outlets. We do ship internationally but cannot do so through Amazon.

I bought this one in the US. So, it is set up for 110V. I don't know if they make a 220V version. As for the chaimsaw's performance, I like it. I have cut over ten cords of wood with it since I bought it, and I haven't had any issues. The only thing I find is that it runs through oil faster than my other one.

It is 110/115 volts, NOT 220. If you have 220 you can get a box and breakers to split the 220 circuit into two 110 circuits.

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

Researching that idea it appears there is a 220 saw made by Makita, the 'Maktec by Makita MT580'. It doesn't show up on Amazon, so where you buy it is beyond me.

Book says its 120V. Just plug in to a regular outlet. I like the saw so far.

It is 110. Realtime not worth the money. Would be veterans off to spend a little more and get a quality saw

It works ether 110 or 220 It comes wired 110. I changed it to 220, Was easy to do if you have it available. Nice saw for the money, I love it.

The motor isn't wound for 220, so not directly. If you mean the 2-phase 220 in most residential neighborhoods in the US, you could probably wire an adaptor to only use one of the hot wires on a 220 circuit <DISCLAMER: I AM NOT AN ELECTRICIAN> because residential 220 circuits are made up of two hot 120 wires with opposite phase + a neutral and a ground. So you would just use the two you need. If you are overseas, I have seen a 220V version of this saw in Asia, but I don't know the model number.

As long as the motor is wired for 120 volt, it will work just fine. There are jumpers that need to be set in the Motor for 120 or 220 volt operation.Make sure to ask somebody who knows how to do it. My saw was already wired for 120 volt.
