Sorry for the atrocious quality, but it's getting dusky here ;)

That's definitely a 120V North American NEMA-5-15 plug.
So this clouds matters considerably. Are you *certain* that the
motor is 50Hz? 50Hz induction motors will spin just fine on 60Hz and
pretty much vice-versa, but the speed won't be the same.
