Buy a stepdown transformer. Attempting to modify the existing supply is not a reasonable proposition unless you know how to design switching supplies.

ABSOLUTELY correct advice.

Only easy solution would be if it already has a doubler/bridge input with a jumper to select 115 VAC (in) or 230 VAC (out). This would mean the chipper runs off ~300 VDC. If it runs off of ~150 VDC, probably no easy solution.

I tire so of responses such as "You fool! You will die!", which may be true, but that's my responsibility, isn't it. I want to know *why*, which you provided.

Thanks again, Sam, for another *educated* answer.
