Just to chime in...
I've spoken to Bob Eichelberg about this issue in the past and he states the exact thing Mike said and the problem starts with the host country's electrical system.
Fixing your PE14 and then using it with the step down transformer will just lead to the tool malfunctioning again.
If you like the compact size, RPM range, fit and finish of the FLEX PE14 and plan on doing buffing work with a rotary buffer for the long run the the best solution would be to purchase a FLEX PE14 built for and sold in your country.
Not sure if that helps but that is the reality of the deal.
