It may need a new switch, one for 220.

For what reason...any UL-listed switch supplied will be rated for at
least 250V and amperage for 110V which is twice the current at 220V.

A switch for 220VAC should be, in the US of A, a 2 pole switch. That is, both hot, ungrounded conductors should be switched. For
the same reason the breaker is a 2 pole device.


Doh...you're right. I'd assume but it would be worthwhile for OP to
check that if it's shipped w/ a switchable motor and is
recommended/discussed that it would have appropriate switch too, but
that wouldn't necessarily be so, granted.

(Think it would indicate a Chinese POS, but that's pretty common these
days... )
