[QUOTE="shrimpto, post: 74381, member: 5600"] ...A bit of deja vu as I asked this question earlier, but it seems to have vaporised into the interether. I have a "Flex" LW603VR polisher (looks like a 7" angle grinder) that I can not get an answer to for this question, and having found this great site, I'm hopeful one of you can assist. It's been like dragging blood from a stone till now - yet my question is surely reasonable: This tool is US120 volt 13amp...has a "slow start" feature, and a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interruptor) built into the power cable. Local plugs are 240 volt (New Zealand) - this tool is not made to suit same. My homework so far has failed to come up with what I need to safely use this tool on our 240volt system - a converter or a transformer. I'm not an electrician (respect to you guys!) and know little beyond that this tool is some 1560watts. Please advise - any help most appreciated. Cheers! Dennis S [/QUOTE]
