[QUOTE="spinlondon, post: 74495, member: 3394"] 110V site tools are 2 phase. In so far as the 110V is made up by 55V on each leg. As I understand it, the American system uses 2 phases, each phase being 120V. They use one leg and neutral for smaller appliances, and two legs for larger appliances such as wahing machines etc. Could you fit a 110V plug on the tool, and then borrow or hire a transformer to see if it works? Another possibility would be to contact the manufacturer and ask their advice. [/QUOTE]
