Unfortunately you will need a transformer (will only be 50hz though so not ideal), a VFD would be better but probably worth more than the saw!

Thank you for the swift reply. ?

This will work on a normal yellow site transformer. Because it is a universal (series commutator) motor the speed and performance will not really be affected by frequency, however if the motor is designed right to the limits it will run slightly hotter on 50Hz.
