    No you can't. You need to purchase a step-up transformer than converts the 120 volt AC power of the US into 240 volts for your device. They are readily available from Amazon. You do need to know the wattage of the device you are operating, and buy one that is a bit higher in rating to ensure that the transformer will last.
