That is right. You only need a neutral when you need dual voltage as in
a dryer or stove. 240V (no longer 220 volt) only equipment such as
motors only need the two hot wires and a ground. ...

I just kept w/ Leon's values -- there's really ime no telling what any
given locale will be running as actual voltages...

The motor only "needs" the two hots if you're going to get into "needs"
(as the fact OP's running it currently on the 2-wire cordset shows).
