Tuft the World's AK-I, AK-II, and AK-III tufting machines come with an AC/DC adapter, which converts up to 240 volts of AC (alternating current) power to 30 volts DC (direct current) power. Adapters have a Type A plug compatible with household electrical sockets in the U.S. and several other countries.
Most international customers will need to purchase a universal plug adapter to use in combination with the AC/DC adapter we provide.
KRD-I tufting machines are available in 110 volt or 240 volt models. We currently only sell 110 volt models.
International customers will need to purchase a power converter to change 110v to 220/240v. Tuft the World is not responsible for electrical problems that may arise from incompatible usage.
If you've lost or damaged the AC/DC power adapter for your AK-I, a replacement is $35 plus shipping.
To order one, email support@tufttheworld.com with your order number or the email used at purchase, your machine model, and a photo of the adapter if you can. We'll send an invoice and ship the replacement once it's paid.
Always use the original adapter made for your specific machine model. Adapters from other machines can cause slowdowns or stalling.
