Flat belts can now be a problem. I have seen car timing and other belts used, some upside down.
If you have not had one before a problem is that the lathe can become the primary hobby. Esp one with T slots.Being more safe is one consolation !!
If you draw the switch 3 times with the 3 states of non connection and connection (crosses) how to utilise becomes more apparent. The mains pair in/out needs be switched on/off and the start pair in/out reversed.
Assumingthe motor has a centrifugal switch it is vital the start winding is not soehow wired to omit this.
