Can I use a step Up transformer to use it with 220V? It works at 1250W so my guess a 1500Watts transformer should do it. Any thoughts?

Sorry just to correct, you have to use STEP DOWN TRANSFORMER not step Up transaformer you need to reduce voltage from 220/240 to 110/120 volt. the 3PN connection that comming with 3 input pin and 3 output pin which is Ground, Neutral and Hot/Line dont use transformer that hase 2 pin input and 2 pin output or 3 pin input 2 pin output or 3 pin input 2 pin output. you can check this Website http://tacima.com/tacima_products.html

Running a transformer near max voltage won't last very long. A good rule of thumb is 1/2 the rated watts for extended use with peaks up to the rates amount of the transformer. However is 1250w the max it runs with all 3 elements running at once? (Preheat, heatgun and iron)

The model that I have is for 120 volt use only. I guess maybe use a converter or something. Hope this helps.... Pat.

I visited USA last summer and I brought some chergers etc with me from Europe that use 220V only. Power Bright VC300M voltage transformer did a perfect job. There is a 500W model as well if the power consumption of your equipment is higher.

You will need to check the wattage and use a 110 to 220 transformer accordingly. Make sure the it supports the W or else it may cause some damage. Hope this helps.

Won't it work with a transformer? How high is the wattage? There are two kinds of transformers; one is generally used for up to 50 w. Is this under 50 w?

hello: I have a separate circuit at 120 volts and it's still working fine. I don't think you can use 220 on the unit. The 120 only supplies the power board only and then the transformer changes all the power circuit to 12 volts.

I live in a place where it is 220 V. I am using a small 220/110 (500 W) transformer which works fine.

Yes, you can use this in US, but you need a transformer to convert the voltage to 220 Volt. I have been using it almost everyday in US.You can get one from amazon.com:Power Bright VC100W Voltage Transformer 100 Watt Step Up/Down 110 Volt - 220 Volt for $19.99.

Yes, if you use a step up/ step down transformer you can use this device. Not sure about the other commenters but I know this for a fact as I have many appliances from the USA and I use them in other countries I move to and I use a step up/down transformer.

Using a step down transformer may work but it has be heavy duty capable of handling high wattage. Better to buy 110V gadget.

My country runs 220v but I use mine with a 100v step-down 'transformer'. I didn't wann take the risk of testing it. I'll advice you get a step-down too.

well i am in canada which is 110 so i am not sure but i am sure if you get a step up transformer i am sure it will be fine

You can if you use with it Power Bright VC100W Voltage Transformer 100 Watt Step Up/Down 110 Volt - 220 Volt

You MAY NOT use this device with 220 volts power without step-down transformer 220v to 110v. This transformer shoud be capable to transform at least 1KW (1000W) of power (twice of the device power consumption - 110v * 4 Amps = 440W for this drill). Such transformer is big ang heavy (of about 5-7Kg). If you connect 110v device with 220v power outlet using only plug adaptor you'll get smoke and completely dead device usable as garbage only.For market with 220v this MATRIX system is branded as "Multievo". Try to find it on the European market for example.

I'm sure any voltage equipment less than 220V would be ok to use on the transformer....assuming the transformer can be used "up to" 220 volts. Hope this helps.

This item only works on 110 volts, if you have 220 you will need a step down transformer.
