Electricity is not something to take "light"ly.(pun intended) Always err on the side of safety and ask a professional.

I really, really dislike those arc-fault interrupters. The ones that I removed wouldn't allow the use of a vaccum cleaner in a couple rooms of the house. Unless they've changed a lot, you'll be pulling your hair out when trying to use an electric motor with them. They will trip if the brushes in the motor arc.
