Will a 1000 watt generator run a saws all. ( Reciprocating saw)?

I do not agree with with the answers here,An average full load amp rating for a saws-all is 10 amps.120 volts x 10 amp=1200 watts.the saw will run ,but under powering it will break down the armature and field windings and cause a failure.Either get a bigger generator or a small cheap saws-all .but check the data plate on the saw and it will tell you the amp rating.I would not run it with the equipment you describe.good luck.

yeah you should have no problem

IT SHOULD, YOU CAN CHECK EITHER IN MANUAL OR ON THE SAW ITSELF SOMETIMES GIVES YOU THE AMPS THAT IT PRODUCES TO.

It’s the amps that you ar concerned with, but just about any generator will run a saws all.

Look at the amp draw of the saw.
Amps x volts = watts.
You can run a little over 8 amps at 115 volts on a 1000 watt generator.

absolutely

Yes, with power to spare.

I agree with Obsean
Plus it depends on what your cutting and if the saw bogs down.If you have a sharp blade and cutting something easy you will have no problem. If your cutting 1/4 thick stainless you will have a problem

sure you can you can also hook up the radio and coffee pot all at the same time ,and lunch yes the microwave too , all the convience all at the same time , how great huh …………..

Use caution. Use common sence. Try it. use a heavy duty extension cord or plug in the saw directly. Gas generators put out less power as their RPMs drop. If either the saw or generator bog down, QUIT. You can damage the saw. Sharp blades help. Use lubrication. Be careful to cut straight. Anything that generates heat uses power. A 1 KW generator is small, very handy but small.
