Can a power tool designed for 220V 60hz be used on a 230V 50hz power source safely?
I would like to purchase a specific power tool (Groove cutter) not available in my country but would like to import it from a country were the power source is different (220V 60Hz) and to then change the power plug to suit my own country (230V 50Hz).
Going by a bit of Googling I have found that it may not be a problem but seeing as the tool is quite expensive I would like to ask and be sure that it would safely be able to handle the small change in power and difference in frequency.
Thanks
