I'm just slightly concerned about the plug situation. Do you guys think a standard universal plug adapter will be safe to use with it to convert the UK plug to US? The wiring is apparently in flawless condition. I noticed another thread about grounding machines, and it had me startled a little. Everyone think it'll be safe to run? I'm a little paranoid now with my 1 year old.
You need to first look at the motor to find out if it is 220 volts or 110 volts. You cannot run it without a converter if it is 220 volts.
That being said, yes, you can get a 110 volt replacement plug from a hardware store to replace the old one. Get a good one though. The cheap ones are not very good, or all that safe.
