Help wiring a 220v motor to a switch

[Shawn]

When I got the shaper home and plugged her in it would only run when I pushed in the rectangular box (is this a magnetic contact-or?) below the off/on button. The PO didn't have 220v in his shop and wired the new motor into the switch himself. I look in the switch box and it's like a dog watching TV ?. I was hoping someone could see what isn't wired up correctly from these pictures. I have ordered a 220v paddle switch but it won't be in for another week. The motor is also running in reverse?

The wires going into the left side of the box come from the plug, the right side is the motor. The shaper was previously wired for a three phase motor.











Thanks in advance for the help

Shawn.
