You don't. Voltages are a nominal rating. 110 volts is within the nominal range at this potential. The voltage centre line is 115 volts. Utility companies are mandated to keep voltages locked within 5% of a centre line voltage. This means that it could be as high as 115 + 5% = 120.75 volts and as low as 115 - 5% = 109.25 volts

You don`t. You cannot put 220 volts into a 110 volt appliance. Find another plug to run off or get an electrician to change the plug over.

Change what? 110 volts hasn't been used in the US since about 1960. It's been 120 volts since, using the same equipment. The nominal 9% increase can't affect anything derogatorily.

How do you hook a 220 volt treadmill to a 110 volt wall socket?

A 220 volt treadmill will not run on 110 volt power. if you would wire it to plug in, the low voltage would causes the treadmill to burn up. You will need to install a 220 volt receptacle for it to plug into and work properly. <<>> In the above answer the treadmill will not burn up but at these amperages it will make a very big flash if it shorted out. Also it must be some treadmill to draw 220 amps and I have never seen a 110 amp wall socket.
