 It doesn't, but that only affects the motor speeds. The 60Hz designed motor (and possible timer) will run ca. 17% slower, but should still work.

I'm thinking, does this transformer ground one end of the secondary winding to the ground contact of its outlet, or does the output voltage float while the machine chassis would be grounded to the power network only? The floating voltage might cause interference that messes up the computer stuff.

Well hard to explain but I can once again make a haphazard hand sketch if you want one.
