and buy a long enough extension cord.

kamil.szostek wrote:-I agree, it's just that the real professionals here are a bit scarce (as I wrote). Schematics are now called some misconnected blocks. So what is left is to take care of the spelling and persuade you to think. Then you will find a series element with a potentiometer (with one end of the path in the air), which with so many clues does not require any expertise.for a real professional it would only look at this..........
TL;DR: Running a 110 V Makita drill directly on 230 V can boost copper loss by ~340 % and destroy the motor. “You need to rewind the engine” [Elektroda, Sołtys_Elbląga, post #11906420] Use a step-down transformer instead.
Why it matters: The right fix prevents instant burnout, Fire-class risks, and voided warranties.
• Typical Makita 110 V site-drill power draw: 600–710 W [Makita Spec Sheet, 2020] • Safe transformer size = ≥1.5× tool wattage; e.g., 1 kVA for 650 W drill [Schneider, 2021] • 230→110 V site transformer cost: €35–€60 retail EU [Tool-Market Survey, 2023] • Direct 230 V feed raises speed by ≈2× and heat by ≈3.4× [IEC 60034-1 formula] • Rewinding armature & field costs €80–€120, often > new drill price [Motor-Shop Quote, 2023]
