Changing connections inside the motor starter box only changes the input voltage to that transformer which provides 24v to the contactor coil. That's why it's called an LVC. (Low Voltage Control)
That connection inside the starter box does not change the motor voltage! The leads inside the motor's conduit box will have to be switched as diagramed on the motor nameplate.
Then, you can plug your 240V Unisaw into high voltage.
