If it (vac) is less than 300W it should. since it (vac)obviously is not <300w, then it (trans-former) obviously will not work (for long).

The use of a voltage converter has some risk .The USA 120 volt at 20 amp can only produce 2400 watts ,the safe use of a converter is for the tool watts to be half of the converter rating . The current model Mafell vacs pull 1400 watts.....2800 watt converter to be safe . It could work ,would burning up the motor on a $1k imported vac ruin the day ?? I would not take the chance .
Have a 50 amp spider box on site to use 120 and 240 volt tools with no issues .The 1000 watt converter was for the small projects .

Either way, I see your point. Neither will work.

This blade is awesome for the kss40! 3/16" smaller in cut debth, but it miters 3/4" inch material.

Well, I took the plunge and now have a KSS 40! I must admit that I was VERY skeptical of getting a cordless saw, but after just framing up a bathroom project I'm very happy with the saw!! Now, granted, this little guy is NOT a 7.25" worm drive/hypoid saw, nor is it my corded KSS 400,in both good ways and bad ways. What I mean to say is, this little saw will not cut 2x material at any sort of bevel (there are workarounds for cutting blocking, but that's another story for another day), and it really isn't suited for ripping miles of treated 2x, but for simple crosscuts and limited ripping this little saw has really impressed me!
For this bathroom project I primarily used the saw for crosscutting 2x4 SPF studs and 2x4 borate-treated plates, 3/4" plywood (for backing and blocking), and limited ripping of the 2x material.
For reference, I also own a KSS-400 and a KSS-300. I've been really happy with both saws (particularly my KSS-300), but felt somewhat tethered by the cord. Now, with the KSS-40 I can take the saw to the lumber pile, cut materials in-place in the bathroom, and generally take it where I need it on the job site with little fuss.
Again, I wouldn't expect to rip miles of framing lumber with this saw, but with the stock blade it performed admirably, cutting at a respectable pace. Battery life on the 6.5Ah Metabo batteries has been superb. Having the Flexi rail nearby has been great for breaking down plywood. The dust bag collects a surprising amount of dust. Not QUITE as complete as when connected t the vac, but I'd estimate dust collection of at least 80%+. The little bag holds a surprising amount of dust, equal to at least a dozen or more crosscuts in 2x4 material.
Overall I'm VERY happy with this cordless version of my beloved KSS 300. It's a delightful, "point-and-shoot" cutting experience. At this point I'll probably keep my corded KSS 300 tethered to a vac in my shop for quick cuts (and backup should anything untoward ever happen to my 40), and keep the KSS 40 in my van for site work.

I've been slicing 2x10 SYP joists and Advantech subfloor with it on the stock blade. Love this saw!

It's the perfect saw for composite decks.

Haven't run my 7 Amp battery on the KSS40 yet. It's been tied down to the mitre saw but this summer I suspect the little beast will get quite a workout.
