For those wondering, the manual is pretty clear - The headstock senses 220 or 120 and operates fine on either. If you want to convert to 240V you just "replace the plug with a standard 15A 250V plug" (ie: both power poles are sideways). Black goes to the dark/gold colored terminal, white goes to the light/silver colored one, and yellow striped goes to the green terminal.

The best course for dual voltage probably is a 250V plug, then making a cheater cord which is a 250V socket and then a 120V plug.
