does the makita 2012 use 120 volt outlet?

It uses regular household power. I live off the grid and am able to power it through my inverter without it blowing a fuse, this is a huge plus!

Standard here in USA is 120 volts for a normal household plug if I remember correctly. I work in a tool shop and a 220 volt plug is what we use for a 170 Amp welder which is the equivalent of what we use for our household laundry dryers.

Yes. It has a standard US mains plug for 120VAC, with two (polarized) tines.

Yes, it does plug into 120 VAC outlet as long as the outlet has two parallel flat slots for two power pins and round hole for ground pin.

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.

Out of the box it is only 12 volt DC. You need to purchase an adapter to connect to 120 volt AC.

Yes, screw terminals are for 12 VAC output. The 120VAC input is through the plug on the back of the unit.

Mine said 12amps on the factory sealed box and 9.6amps on the tool. I think they messed up the print on the box because if you look at the official tool data sheet on makitas main site it says 9.6amp.

Corded power tools are rated in amps instead of volts.This way a user knows how much power they can draw without flipping a breaker. Most breakers are either 15 or 20 amp. This does operate on a 120 volt socket though. Nothing 12 volt about it.

Yes 120 volt outlet is necessary. The unit is self contained. It is not powered by the pool pump motor.

Hi David, This dc18rc charger has a 110V input voltage. I have read there are 240V input Makita chargers available in Australia (C-ticked) from reputable Makita dealers. Have also read some companies switch the charger over but some how cannot handle the 240V properly and burn out or cause havoc on the batteries. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I am living in USA. And according to the manual it can only deal with 120V AC outlet. (page 2) http://www.aroma-housewares.com/manuals/ARC-743-1NG_InstructionManual.pdf

No this is definitely regular 120 volt machine as I used to use it everyday.

I don't think so. It's a great little saw, but I would ask Makita if they have a 240V version.

yes you plug it in regular outlet 120 volts,comes with instructions and you get some cords

the plug at the end of the cord appears to be for 110 only, so I would have to say its for 110. However, you may google it or call Makita if this is a serious question presented. If it were 230, I would think the power cord would be thicker and the plug heaftier, or with a 230 volt connection, and not with the standard three pronged plug.

I have this saw and it is not 220volts . It is 120 volt with a standard 3 prong plug on it
