The Harbor Freight 2HP industrial dust collector is wired for a 110 connection. Does anyone know if you can run this off a 220?

A friend at work has one and he says the motor is 110 only with no provision to wire for 220. If I could run it 220 I would definately get one. Scott.
What advantage do you think you'd get if you could?
probably, but only for a second or 2....
It's pretty much a "throw the switch and try not to blow a breaker" 110v motor... My neighbor claims that HIS lights dim when I turn it on, but once the motor gets up to speed it's a good machine for the price

Less voltage drop and an easier start up.
Well, for one thing it would require half as much current, a definate advantage when your shop is limited by a low current feed. Scott.
