It could be adapted to work in 220V?, how much power should have an 220/110 adaptor to use this planer?.

I haven't measured the actual power, but the add says 15A. If you use a transformer from 220 that would be 7.5A, plus whatever winding loss you have. Or, approximately 1650 W, either way.

I think the motor would have to be changed. I don't know if a 220v motor is available. As for power, wattage would be the same. With double the volts the amps used would be cut in half. volts X amps = volts. Peace.

I don't know if it can be converted to 220v. I plug it into a 15' 15 amp extension cord and it works fine. No need to convert to 220v.

The one I bought was designed for use in the USA. I would think you could either use this one with an adapter for the outlet or find one that is already compatible with 220.

Where I live (California) the saw delivered to me uses only 120V. Perhaps, if you live in Europe or Asia the saw would be designed for 220V.

Spoke to an electrician (my cousin), he said that if it came with the adapter than it could work. It did not come with you so you cannot plug it in directly, you need a transformer in order to use it in a 220-240V power source.

On 120v a 20a dedicated circuit would be fine. On 220v it only draws 11amps I think, so 15-20 amp circuit. But keep in mind you get full output with 220 volt circuit too. I have tig welded on a 20amp 120v circuit with this thing with great results.

Don't think so. But it uses a transformer. Perhaps you could replace the transformer so it will accept 220.

The adapter that comes with it doesn't work for 220V. You could always get one of your own.

I don't see why not - but I wouldn't expect it to convert from 220VAC to 110VAC. Use the converter first, and you'll have 110VAC to work with.

The particular adapter is rated to work with 220V/50 Hz but you would probably need to buy a plug converter.

No, most power tools ordered from the united states will only work with 110V. Unless you have a transformer that changes the 220V to 110V current, this tool will not survive.

The label says 120v AC only, but I would I would assume if you had the proper converter to step down the voltage it would work. Obviously it's made for the US market, so it's not going to come adapted for 220v, which means you'd have to convert it just like you would any other 120v device.

The voltage on mine is 120 volt 60 hertz. I dont think its adjustable. But it may be able to be ordered thst way. Or, you can use a voltage converter from 220 to 120v. As long as it has enough wattage to handle the load of the sander. I really like mine, it works well. Ive used travel voltage converters before and had good luck with them. Id have to read up on mine and see if a voltage change is available.

This model does not have a 220V input. I do not believe they make any saws for 220V, sorry.

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

We have the same power supply in the Philippines where I sent my Makita saw. You need to have a step down transformer to convert to 110 volts. Hope this helps.

I do not think you should use it with 220V. It is meant for 115-120. Be safe.
