Another blower wiring question

I have a larger furnace blower I want to use for an exhaust blower in my shop.
There is no name on it that I can find.
Attached pics show what it says on the tiny tag down inside on the motor itself. Part of the tag is under the clamp holding the motor.
I have 4 wires coming out [plus 2 black that go to the capacitor and return=]
Red White Blue and Black.

Looks like it will run on 110 or 220. I want to run it on 110.

I understand I need a multi-position switch to select different speeds.

I also need a new cord and plug.

I can't see a way from the wiring tag to set it to 110?

To wire the motor to run on 110 which wires go to the standard outlet with a white, a green and a black?

I appreciate any help to get the wiring done without a cloud of smoke and that nasty crispy wire smell :)

You have a variable speed fan that runs on 120.

The colors are for the various speeds, the neutral white is what you can't see.
You need to get a three position switch to use all the various speeds or just pick one a and wire it up. They sell 20 amp motor rated switchs (which is what you need - in any toggle switch) at most box stores. digi-key or auto direct or a larger electrical supply house could have a 3 position switch or get it in a day or so.

Prices vary, call ahead, shop around.

Google, Use Image, diagram three position switch.
