Is a 120volt appliance safe in a 110volt step down transformer?

The supply voltage in the US and Canada has a nominal value of 120 V, but national standards allow a variation of +/-5%, so the actual voltage could fluctuate between 114 V and 126 V. If you assume a similar variation to the voltage output from your transformer , then the two voltage variations would overlap. In other words, yes, it should be quite safe for your 120-V appliance to operate from a transformer supplying 110 V.
