If it is a single phase motor it won't reverse.

Think about all those two prong corded ac 115 VAC tools......

You can reverse rotation on a three phase mpotor but as the other folks
said, why?

I assume this is an AC motor. Don't the brush polarities reverse 60
times per second already? Or possibly I'm not understanding what
you're saying?
