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.

I found myself in the same position when I moved several years ago. I
just changed the the 4-prong receptacle in the dryer outlet to a 3-prong
20 amp style. Worked like a champ. When I moved, I put the 4-prong
receptacle back in the box. As I remember, the circuit was rated at 30
amps.
