    You better buy a transformer for safety measure. Do not rely on the outlets at home for there are times you might absent-mindedly use the 220 one. Besides, there's a need to know your electrical capacity (i forgot its term).

    You will need the common to separate the legs and return the unused. Get a pro to show you, or sit in at a hardware store lesson.
    Ask at the neighbors for advice and a look at their set up.

    220 will kill or fry it will also start a hot fire fast.
