And by the way, why does the motor list two numbers for the amps? I
suppose that has something to do with the two voltages, but how can a
motor draw two different amps?

15A at 120V, 7.5A at 240V. To operate at 240V you must move a jumper wire
which changes the internal wiring of the motor. Basically, you have two sets
of motor windings, which are connected in parallel for 120V operation, and in
series for 240V operation.
