Use a transformer to step the voltage down. On a universal motor it doesn't make any difference if it's 50 or 60 Hz.
Anyway, my question
The website and the user manual say 120V only. Couldn't find any mention of
230V wiring anywhere. Probably best to contact Porter Cable directly.
the manual I can scan / fax it to you. Let me know. Otherwise it's transformer time. Rgds

The parts diagram also gives different part numbers for the armature and fields for 120V and 240V. The capacitor my be just for radio interference. Sorry, this is one of those "ain't gonna happen" things! A step down transformer may work, but at 7.5 amps @120 volts, it needs to be a biggie!
And for the rest here, Porter Cable has parts diagrams on their web site, .pdf format. Greg
