Is your switch capable of 220? Some are not rated for that. Im sure there are specialty stores near you that can help. Try an electrical supply shop for switches and wiring help.

Actually any single pole switch rated for your voltage and amperage will work by disconnecting one of either hot leg feeding the motor. However it's best or safer to disconnect BOTH hot legs using a double pole switch. Problem is using a SP switch where you only disconnect ONE hot leg the other hot leg is feeding through the motor windings and returning clear back out to the dead side of the SP switch. So when you have it "turned" off you are thinking there is no power on the motor which is DEAD wrong! Pun intended. Better off just purchasing a DOUBLE POLE switch rated for your app.
With all that said I can't imagine switch wiring being your problem best double or triple check motor nameplate wiring for converting motor from 110 to 220

DPST switch rated at 220VAC 20 amps.

L1 and L2 from the power to one set of poles and L1-L2 to the motor on the others.

It might help to know the motor model number.

As others said 2 pole switch is needed. Its code requirement and common sense.
Without such a switch, shock hazard exists and potentially with internal faulting, its possible the OCPD not trip & the motor would failure to shut off even with the switch in the 'off' position.
