run a switch out of the outlet.  run a 12-2 or 14-2 romex from the outlet to a switch.  disconnect the power wire from the outlet and tie it to the white wire going up the wall to your switch.  leave the white wire that is connected to your outlet alone.  take the black wire and connect one end to your switch and one end to your outlet.  the black is your switch leg and your white is your power for your switch.  that will make your outlet switched to control your motor to be shut off or on
