The motor itself might be dual winding.

If you don't know - call an electrician - or take it to a motor repair place.
They know motors.

Likely the label on the end or top indicates multi-voltage.

I just bought a Walker Turner saw. It's wired for 220. I need 120 to
get it to work in my shed. Anyone know how this is done?


What's the horsepower rating of the motor?


If it's over 1.5 HP the motor may not be able to be changed.


I just found the manual online (model 2221). On the parts lists it
lists:
110 power cord assembly
220 power cord assembly

Also, thanks for all the suggestions.
I'm hoping to avoid having to rewire my shed, but I guess I will do so
if necessary.

I love the internet.
