There is nothing magic about one kind of 220V over another, at least in this
60 Hz country. But you might want to change the circuit breaker to match
the saw requirement. You could also change the outlet to match the saw,
instead of the other way around. Six of one-half a dozen of the other.

I am currently living in a rental until our house is finished. There is no
220 volt outlet in the garage so I can't use my saw. Not being an
electrician, can I plug it into the outlet used by the dryer? I know I
will have to change the plug on my saw.

Thanks for the help.
