How many amps does this saw draw, and does it have a soft start?

It will draw 15 amps at start. It does not have a soft start. That being said this is a great quality saw. Very light weight but very versatile and quality tool. I would buy this tool over and over again.

We sent the saw back, because my husband could not pull the cord. We contacted the company they said it was because of the omissions standards which increased the compression. He several other saws and has no trouble starting them. The company stated that they have received complaints about this. I hope this helps.

Max draw is 5 amps / 536 watts, according to Frigidaire's website. But since the compressor cycles on and off, that's not a constant electrical load.

Although it is not easy to know this without a test, I was running a 1000 watt compressor and welded with a 90 amp welder without crashing the inverter. It was quite a drain but it didn't quit. I'm sure your pump would start especially if it only draws the startup wattage for a second before dropping down to running wattage. I do have #1 wire on all 4 posts and a bank of capacitors on the battery side. It is vital you use the largest and shortest wires possible for the high amp draw.

I don't believe it's listed anywhere on the compressor or instructions. But it's a 110-120 volt 1/3 horsepower motor so it should be drawing around 7 amps. Hope that helps.

Is table saw rate more than 1/2hp or more than 16 amps? If that be the case it would cause it to trip. That the only thing I can think of

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.

The saw come prewired at 115v. The motor voltage is rated at 115/230 volts.

I used it to power a 10 inch compound saw and a small oil less compressor, both from harbor freight. The saw does no cut as well as when it is hooked up to normal ac power. A sharper blade would help.

The 3 Hp saw comes prewired with a 20 Amp 3 prong 220V plug. The saw will draw about 12.4 amps running. Use a 20 Amp 220V circuit with a minimum 12 gauge line wiring.

I own this machine and running on 120v it will put out 127amps, easily will weld 1/8" steel. I use a 3/32" tungsten and 3/32" rod. Puts out a nice arc. I also own a syncrowave which IMO puts out a little nicer arc. One of the things this machine has going for it is it only draws about 30amps at 220V so you can run it off a dryer outlet with the right plug, no need for a 50 amp circuit to run it wide open throttle. Mine also runs fine off a 20amp 120v circuit without tripping the breaker. Just hopes it lives thru the 5yr warranty, the circuit boards have a lot of chinese components on them. Happy so far.

2.5 amps according to Best Sander (see http://bestsander.info/bosch-ros20vsk-random-orbit-sander-review/)

It draws 14 amps, so it will work from just about any outlet w/o tripping the house breakers. I used my compressor in virtually every room in my house, while installing 3/4" hardwood flooring (very demanding task for any portable compressor) and never had an issue. This has been a great little workhorse for all my DIY projects and have never had an issue, sans a very rare thermal trip breaker on the compressor when I get a little too demanding. It's a safety feature so you don't overheat the motor. It's a cinch to reset though. Hope this helps.

Make sure you are running premium gas and put in a good name brand spark plug. Also what amp draw is your saw? This gennie is only good to 8-10 amps. We run lights and a battery charger in our boat. No issues. Hope this helps

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.

It depends on the tool you have plugged into it. Speed for the jig saw for example is between 2000 to 5000 strokes per min.
