Hello,
I have a little unusual problem. I bought the slash Evolution Rage 3S on the allegro, exhibition copy, so also without warranty. At the auction there was information that the saw is 230V. I currently live abroad, but I use my father-in-law's workshop when I return to Poland, so I ordered a saw to him and asked to check. The father-in-law checked the saw, cut some metal and wood and wrote that everything was OK. I was in Poland recently, so I also had the opportunity to use the saw and accidentally left the laser on for 2-3 hours. When I came back the laser didn't work anymore. We checked what was going on and it turned out that the power supply burned and then we noticed "100-120V" on the power supply. Surprised, we looked at the stickers on the device and of course there was also 110V (15A).
And now my question: can the brush AC motor work on both voltages? We connected the device to the meter and at 230V without load used about 3.5A, with a load (metal flat) over 4A. After connecting to the autotransformer set to 110V without load it used about 3A, and with the load over 4.5A. I don't know about engines, but it always seemed to me that after connecting a motor adapted to work on 110V under 230V the engine would burn.
The seller swears that the device has a 230V motor, but I think he is lying and has no idea what the motor is like, because how would a 230V motor be on a device marked as 110V and with a laser power supply also under 110V. It seems to me that the seller did not even check the device, because the packaging was marked for 230V, so he probably got the saw so packed and stated that as the packaging says 230V, it is 230V.
