Spent 30 minutes at HILTI store discussing this vacuum,  ordered , got it- what’s up with the plug on this thing? It’s 120V, but not one I’m familiar with and certainly not one that’s going to plug in anywhere I work. Is this the Swedish model or something sent to me by mistake? Or am I supposed to get some kind of adapter to make this thing work on a standard American plug? Any help much appreciated.

Thanks ,

Picture? My guess is they mislabeled the box and it wasn’t intended for the North American market.

Is the onboard outlet the correct one?

The Video shows a normal N/A 120v outlet. Some how you must have been shipped a odd version is the plug for the thing a normal NA 120v I do see something about a twist lock adapter though

could you remove the Swedish one then install a NA one?

Same thing on my end.  I have the Bulldog Tough u-ground to twist adapter. With the adapter it will work in the States.
