The switch is simply that, a switch that directs power so there's not much way the switch can damage your motor. Do you have a Volt/Ohm Meter? A few minutes with a VOM and you can map out exactly what that switch is doing, and how to hook it up to make your motor work right.

YES, I do have a meter but I 'ONLY" use it for two things 1.presence of voltage and 2. continuity and Rrumbler had to tell me which setting to use to check those. I am electrically illiterate and have always been so I don't even try to understand it - - - probably because I've always been scared of it and of burning things up because of a possible screw up - - - now you know the rest of the story.
