How many watt of the motor, I would buy another power convertor (fr 220 to 110) for stepping down .So,I need to use it in Thailand. Thank you

1725 watts @ 115volts I'd be looking at cycles or hertz. In North America it's 60hz. Thailand could be 50hz. And most converters would be set for one or the other but not both.

It's not the watts. It best to use the power converter, to convert 110 to 220 volts. Why, in US, the power run on 60Hz, in Asian the power is 50Hz.The ratio between 50Hz and 60Hz is about 83% slower. Speed and torque goes together. The saw may have a switch to switch-over to 220 volt.But the saw speed will be slower and not enough torque to do the job, then you have to feed the wood cutting slowly. It's best to use a converter.Try it two ways, one without the converter and other with a converter and see the difference in saw performance. In the end the motor is made for 60Hz.

I have not noticed that there was written 120 and plug into 220 v. After I bought voltage converter, checked and the machine did not work. Is it possible that I did burn the motor?

You havn't stated what country you plan to use it in, or why you don't have a 120VAC source. which makes a difference. You can get what you need from Amazon (search Amazon, get the best price) or go to: www.220converters.com/store/, and select "travel voltage converters". Be sure to get two things or something that combines the two functions: the plug adaptor to be able to plug in, which will depend on your country, plus the voltage converter that converts from the power characteristics you have to 120VAC, 60hz.

I live in the UK and have a vacation home in Florida. I love our Keurig, I've advised Keurig they're missing a trick by not selling to the UK and European market. Anyhow, we have a power "inverter" already that reduces 220v down to 110v for some less powerful electrical items we've taken back over the years. After a little research we are buying another Keurig Machine to take back. At 1500 watts you need to get an inverter that handles that amount of power. Check out 220-electronics.com. I'm buying the inverter here in the US also, way-way cheaper than buying in the UK and probably the rest of Europe, be mindful they are heavy. Inverters/transformers/converters, call them watt you like, they work fine. A bit bulky to have on a counter top possibly but I've figured out a way to hide mine and feed it to an electrical socket..... Happy Days!!

Look at this website www.walkabouttravelgear.com You can buy a small plug power convertor to match your needs overseas. I hope this helps.

I have the plug in style switch and it works fine on 220V in Thailand, even though it is labeled as 120V.

I've read that you should only use a converter for up to half the rated power output, so anything up to 150 watt would be OK. So, I'd suggest you get a more powerful converter, e.g. 500 W.

The one I bought ran on 110VAC. In the Philippines, the voltage is 220VAC, so I use a step down transformer.

The power voltages for the wall outlets are different according to wikipedia (120V in United States, 220V in Thailand: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity_by_country), so if you purchase this, make sure you get an adapter that would work with your voltage.Thailand 220V, USA 120V...something like this maybe: Seven Star F200 200 Watt 220/240V to 110/120V AC Step Down Travel Convertergood luck!

To be on the safe side I would purchase an Inverter/Converter (inexpensive) unit to cater for UK power output, so as to ensure that you will be supplying 110/120 volts as required for the tool.

You just need a prong converter, not a power converter. I have used mine in Asia twice. The adaptor uses 110 or 220 as with most.

Hi,Thank you for emailing me. This item's AC adapter is rated for 100-240 volts. You can use it in the Philipines but you might need to purchase a converter if the outlets are different from the ones used in the United States. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.Regards,Andrew SchearerOperations Manager"Like" us at facebook.com/reforgerdirect

You need to check what thailand's adapter plug looks like. I don't believe this would work.

Given that this is a UK import, if you're planning to use this in the UK or Europe I'd talk directly to the manufacturer and see if they make a 110 model. Stepping down will adversely affect the motor speed and thus may not even play at 33rpm.

The machine works with 120 V, but you can use it in a 220 V system with a step-down transformer. The transformer shall be for at least 120 Watts

you will have to have transformer/voltage converter. Using 110V appliance with 220V increase the wattage 4 times, therefore generates excessive heat. It is likely to burn the motor coil.

Not sure. What kind of power is in use in the Phillipines? If the outlet is like Europe's (recessed) you will need an additional adapter - the pins on the back if the converter are too short (this is actually a safety consideration. If your hair straightener is rated over 1600 watts or if you plan to have it plugged in for over 30 min. I'd recommend NOT using this device. Check power specs on the straightener - some might be able to run 120-240 volts 50-60 Hz. Might have a switch on the device. If in doubt contact the manufacturer of the straightener. Sorry I gave you more questions than answers but that's the best I can do in this case. Not sure. What kind of power is in use in the Phillipines?
