Silhouette Portrait cutter

[DaisyDots]

Have finally received my silhouette.  Bought in the UK, but arrived with a USA two pin plug. Advice on whether it's safe to use a UK transformer and which should I get?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards,  Daisy.

I would contact the supplier to get written confirmation of exactly what you can power it with.

 

Graphtec are the UK distributor for Silhouette products, maybe give them a call or an email.

Daisy,

 

When you say US two pin plug, does it have flat pins? Or is it a round pin plug? This site may be useful in identifying which one it is; http://www.worldstandards.eu/electricity/plugs-and-sockets/ 

 

Whichever plug it is the best way to know if it's safe to use is to check the transformers/PSU label, many theses days can handle 100v to 240v! If the PSU has a plug-in mains lead you might just need to buy one with a three pin plug. But check the label first, you may need bright light and a magnifying glass to read the small print.
