I bought in Korea. South Korea's voltage is 220V. Do I use transformer?

You should've bought it at Amazone UK or other shops in Europe....cause they got 220~240v machines for u

Hey Lim, don't panic! This is simpler than making Kimchee:1> Do what GI's have done since 1949. Buy a 60 to 100 Watt, 220VAC input to 120 VAC output transformer having US-standard receptacle(s). 50 Hz won't harm charger. However sinewave interval is 20 mSec instead of 16.6 mSec, so battery may require 20% longer to charge.2> Search DeWalt website for 220 VAC input charger having DIN/Euro or Korean power plug.3> Forgot if you guys have Euro/DIN wall sockets. You may have to local-purchase a Euro/DIN to Korea-specific power plug adapter. You'll find them at Incheon or Kimpo International arrival terminal shops and tourist-luggage repair shops. Cheers!

Korea should use type F plug so that would be the same as Schuko mentioned here. This might help http://www.iec.ch/worldplugs/list_bylocation.htm (just make sure your devices are 220V/60HZ capable)

Check the voltage for the country as others have suggested. If not the same as U.S, you could also purchase a transformer/converter that would transform the voltage what is needed.

The power adapter that comes with this unit is Rated from 100-240V 50/60HZ 1.0A Max. So this will work in Korea. You may require a plug adapter as the cord that comes with the unit is a standard US 2 prong plug.

The manual says AC 120v 60Hz so probably not. Transformer windings would be different for Japan.

my advice is NOT to use a transformer. Currently the VP112 is being marketed in 220V...with inventory in EU and Asia Pacific. Recently at food show in Singapore and there is a stocking distributor.

I am bringing mine to the asia... all outlets there are 220V so i bought a converter then ill see if it works...

You would have to have a transformer, it did not come with a 220 option. But since it is a German company, the should have that version as Germany is 220. I would recommend ask the company. They answered my question in 4 hrs.

I have never been in Korea. So I'm not sure but it works in Hong Kong and Japan. Need to change the fuse to a larger amp.

No you will not need a transformer. 220v is what we also have in the USA and the machine can run on 220v. Enjoy your illy! Victoria LA, CA

Looking at converting the voltage from 110 to 220 and vice versa, I think the thing will do the job. It looks like the Korean plugs ar similar to many Europeen (incl. Germany) so that should work too.

Because I try to use a 220 volt adapter.Can only if the adapter without transformer(110->220)?

My relative lives in Hong Kong and has been using a 600 series (120v) non-stop for 4 years with a heavy duty step down transformer - still running w no problems. She purchased and used the unit for two years in the US prior to moving overseas. That said, there are distributors located throughout Asia who carry the 220v units. However their list prices (in HK at least) were 40-60% more expensive than US sellers.

...yes you should be able to use it in South Korea. I am currently using it in Nigeria

Can i use a transformer to convert the voltage from 110 v to work on 220 v.Haricharan

I have never been to Korea. I have used it in Italy spain france turkey geeece and usa. I do not see why it would not work in Korea. it has a plug for everywhere.
