Electrical device and method having an electrical cord set convertible between different electrical amperage ratings

An electrically operated device, comprising:

• an electric motor including an electrical cord set with an electrical connecting plug for coupling with an AC electrical outlet, the electrical connecting plug further including a detector;
• and
• a control electrically coupled to the motor and electrically coupled to the detector for controlling the level of electric current drawn by the electric motor from the AC electrical outlet, wherein the detector detects whether the electrical connecting plug is connected to a 15 Amp electric receptacle or to a 20 Amp electric receptacle and, in response, the control establishes the electrical profile of the electric motor in a manner corresponding to whether the electrical connecting plug is connected to the 15 Amp electric receptacle or to the 20 Amp electric receptacle. the detector further including a movable element configured to be inserted into the 20 Amp electric receptacle and further operable to be moved from a first position to a second position upon insertion of the electrical connecting plug into the 15 Amp electric receptacle;
• wherein the movable element is spring loaded into the first position, and the detector further comprising an electric sensor electrically coupled to the control and actuated when the movable element moves to the second position to indicate to the control that the electrical connecting plug is physically and electrically coupled to the 15 Amp electric receptacle.
