Help with DeWalt Saw Bench

jen77_2

Hi please be kind its my first time posting in this forum and i dont really know much about DIY and tools.

My father passed away suddenly last month and as we have started sorting through his tool shed we have found two DeWalt Saw benches. They both have a funny plug on the end and Im not sure if there should be an adapter or something to get them working.

Its a round/tubular yellow and white plug with three pins inside the plug,,if that makes sense?!

We havent found anything that looks like it should fit into this plug..so im a bit lost... i dont even know if they work.

Has anyone come across a similar plug..do i need an adapter and if so where can i get one from ....thanks in advance

That would a 110v plug.
Perfectly fine,as used on building sites etc

They will not work on normal mains voltage.

you will need to get a 110 volt transformer to use it

victorias_dad

just a thought if you have two 110 volt saws the chances are there will be a tranformer there aswell keep looking

Thank you for your quick replies, I'll keep looking and see if i can find the transformer

generally a yellow box like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3-3-KVA-SITE-TRANSFORMER-110-VOLT-110V-UK-SUPPLY-3-3KVA-/350365112689?pt=UK_BOI_Electrical_Components_Supplies_ET&hash=item5193635971

all site electric tools must be 110v now.
you are not allowed any 240v on site. even items such as kettles!

Not sure from your post whether your intention is to keep them or not. If not, then be aware that if they are decent modern ones they could be worth up to £500 for the pair. I would imagine, judging by these, that there will be other equally valuable tools. Make sure you research them to get the best price. A recently bereaved woman with little or no knowledge of tools is an easy target to be ripped off when you try to sell them. ebay is good start to research the approximate value of things (check the completed listings).
