you need to buy a 110v socket and wire the 2 wires into it, strip them down to bare wire and put it into a 110v socket and your sorted

Anyway, the plug on the right needs to be replaced by the one on the left:

You'll notice on the left hand side of the new plug a little screw - undo this and follow the arrows to open the plug:

Next, cut the american plug off the PC:


Push the lead through the hole in the hollow side of the new plug and move down the lead out of the way:


Then you need to cut off some insulation and expose the black (LIVE) and the white (NEUTRAL) wires:

The black (LIVE) goes into the right lower hole - it is marked 'L' on the plug. The white (NEUTRAL) goes into the left lower hole. There is no ground so the top hole stays free. Tighten up the screws in the plug casing to hold the wires in place:

Next, clamp the lead in the clamp and tighten both screws:


Finally, slide the hollow side of the plug up the lead and join both parts together. Use the screw you removed earlier to tighten both parts of the plug together:


That's it! Should take no longer than 5 minutes. Hope this helps.

I bought a silverline 600-6000rpm 6 speed polisher for 35 quid locally new, runs 240v and I bought a couple of soft polishing pads and a compound pad all for just over 40 quid, even detailing worlds website rates them. just takes a little practise ive been told, take it easy for a while and learn how it works.
