HF Dust Collector - can this be adapted to a 220?

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

Well, for one thing it would require half as much current, a definate
advantage when your shop is limited by a low current feed.

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

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.

I'm trying to balance out the amp usage in my workshop. I have an
unused 220.

What advantage do you think you'd get if you could?

Less voltage drop and an easier start up.
