Wire 110 to 220
If you have a 110 volt appliance, all switches , wiring and components are made especially to handle that voltage. If you feed 220 to 240 volts into it, most certainly the machine will be unsafe and likely fail in a very short time. Purchase a step down transformer to reduce your supply voltage to 110. Most good electrical parts stores should be able to supply this.

Quick release collar
Did you try to insert a nipple into it ... maybe something has to be inserted to release it. Maybe try to tap it lightly to see if it will pop loose? Be careful not to mess anything up in case you need to return it. Since you just bought it I would check with the store or manufacturer. They can tell you if it should be back or not ... if not I would return it. If you do not want to deal with returning it just replace the coupling with a good one.
