   I'd double check and make sure you made all the correct changes. There are no new components in the circuit when you change voltage, you are just changing windings from parallel to series. Polarity of the windings is important so make sure you follow the color codes exactly.

   Thanks, I will try again when I get a chance. I have to be missing something. It's easy to switch the wires, the wires have plug like connectors.

   I was thinking the same thing. Passed on commenting but it has to be a wiring issue. No reason for it to work on 110 and not 220 that I can think of.

   Have you checked your 220V outlet to be sure it is wire correctly? Was it installed by an electrician? If you are sure the motor is wired correctly that is the most likely cause of your problem.

   Thanks for the reply.
   Yes the outlet is used with my jointer too.

   I take it you are still experiencing the problem.
   The fact that it is running hot and vibrating makes me think it is not connected to both poles and is actually just getting 120V so I would check the plug on the saws cord to make sure connections are correct and tight.

   PS. This will damage the motor if I am right so be careful and limit the time testing it.

   The plug is the next thing I will check. Thanks

   Some 240v circuits lack a neutral. Some things work without a neutral, others require it. Is that applicable here?

   No the neutral is only required for code compliance and or to allow some appliances to split off a 120v circuit to supply the electronics that all appliances today seem to have, it has no role in motor operation.
