This sounds like a great idea and speeds up work by not having to keep
changing the belt location on the pulleys.

Could someone please point out how to wire a switch and motor to
achieve this? Any pros/cons that I would need to know.

I would check with the manufacturer and while they would have
a "that would void your warranty" a tech there might be nice
enough to give you "off the record" advice.

Some types of motors it would ruin, other types it might
work just fine.
