@ OAC & doughboyshredder: I will check the wires and post a photo :-) It would be very nice if I dont have to turn and readjust everything because I have nearly finished the machine...

Good job! I really like the name!
Wonder when the "we" get the "4000 - series" out?
There are 4 cables coming from the motor: blue, black, red and yellow. Then there are 4 pins to connect the cables:
1) blue and black
2) empty
3) empty
4) red and yellow
From the plug there is a red cable going to pin 1 and a white cable to pin 4. (+ yellow/green to ground)
Any idea how to connect so that the motor spins in the other direction.
Regards, Christoph

240v. Reversing L1 and L2 does nothing. With a 110v motor you would be correct.
Is there a nameplate on the motor? If so make sure it only says 220 and not 110/220. Pretty sure from the picture and wire description you posted, that it is a single voltage dual rotation motor. If I am correct you need to switch the black and the red. So you would end up with L1 (Line voltage 1) going to blue and red, and then L2 (the other Line voltage wire) going to black and yellow.
This page http://diggipdf.com/documents/s_10_wiring_diagrams/ has a standard wiring diagram for a single voltage dual rotation motor with the corresponding colors on the bottom of the second page.
Now it looks more like a 3-phase motor "1-phase enabled"...?
Nameplate?
Where is the capacitor?
I don't know about your electrical system in Switzerland. There should be three(3) cables feedeing the motor, in a 1-phase system.
The swedish example:
In Sweden we have:
L = phase
N= zero (in a perfect system this is 0V and NOT ground) Always blue.
and ground (green/yellow)
Three phase motors up to approximately 0.75 kW can be converted to single-phase motors, the installation of a capacitor that is connected between two of the motor connections. 1-phase net then connected to one of these, and for the vacant connector. Direction changed by 1-phase net connected to the second capacitor connection.
The engine must be Δ-connected, 1-phase effect gets about 75% of three-phase power and starting torque is approximately 30% of the rated torque at the three phase.

Follow my instructions and you'll be fine.
btw, I am a licensed electrician and I work with motors regularly.
