Why doesn't my 110v Wahl hair clippers work correctly when plugged into a power converter converting 220 v to 110 the screw on the side has no effect?

The internal working of the motor is designed for 110V/60Hz.
Your stepdown converter is from 220V/50Hz to 110V/50Hz.
Frequency converters from 50Hz to 60Hz are very expensive (many times the cost of a new clipper). Therefore it is better you get a clipper designed for 220V/50Hz.
If you still like to put your clipper to use, then the most cost effective solution would be to get a "car inverter" that would convert 12V DC to 110V/60Hz AC.

What happens when 240 volt equipment is plugged into a 120 volt source or if 110 120 volt equipment is plugged into a 60 volt source assuming all alternating current?
When equipment is run at a lower voltage than it is designed for, it does not operate correctly. A light will glow dimly or not at all, a heater produces much less heat. Electronic equipment may not function at all.

You can't! They are not made. The reason is for safety. if you plugged in a male-to-male extension cord and left the other end laying on the ground, it would be an electrocution and fire hazard. You need to find a better (and safer) way to make your connection.

When to replace cataylic converter on 99 Saturn sc 2?
The life of your catalytic converter depends on the condition of the engine and the fuel you're using. If the fuel has the wrong additives, the catalytic converter can become plugged up. If the engine burns oil the oil vapor will build up on the catalytic converter and it can become plugged. Otherwise, if the catalytic converter isn't plugged, don't replace it.
