Foredom Series SR - Manual (Page 6)

Be sure to follow the grounding
instructions on page 3 of this manual
while attaching the speed control to a
power outlet.
Wait for motor to stop rotating
before switching between forward
or reverse.
To turn motor off, remove foot from foot pedal
speed control, or turn dial speed control to “off”
position, and set rocker switch to “off” (center)
position on motor.
Connecting the Foot Speed Control
The electrical specifications for your power tool are
listed on the label on back of motor. It shows proper
voltage and currents to use with your power tool.
A 115 Volt, 50/60 cycle (Hz) motor can be used with
the models C.FCT-1 and C.SCT-1 foot controls on 115
Volt AC current only. The 230 Volt, 50/60 cycle (Hz)
motor can be used with the models C.FCH-2 and
C.SCH-2 foot controls on 230 Volt AC current only.
To connect the foot control to the motor, insert the
3-prong plug on the end of the motor power cord into
the socket connector on the shorter power cord on
the foot control. With the motor fwd/off/rev switch in
the “off” position, plug the 3-prong plug on the
longer power cord from the foot control into a proper
3-prong power outlet.
When your foot is not pressing the foot
control, the motor should not be running.
Your foot must maintain steady contact with the pedal
during operation. Holding the handpiece in your hand,
put the motor fwd/off/rev switch in the desired “on”
position, begin with a light touch, start out slowly
and gradually increase the
speed. Finding the right speed
for any specific task is a
matter of experimentation
and experience.

Hold the handpiece
securely before selecting

turning the motor to the
desired “on” position.
Hanging Motor Installation
M.SR Motors should be hung up
about 30 ″– 40″ above the work
surface and to the right of the
work if you are right handed or to
the left of the work if you are
left handed.
Use a safety clip or hook like the
one shown to prevent the motor from jumping or
twisting off an open hook at start up or during use.
Properly securing the motor will help to prevent
injury to the user.
All Foredom motor hangers have this type of safety
clip (see page 15). If an “open hook” is used be sure
to secure the motor to it with wire or heavy tape.
Connecting the
Table-Top Dial Speed Control
The motors can also be used with the C.EM-1 (115
volt) or C.EMH-2 (230 Volt) dial speed control on AC
current. Connect the control to the motor by inserting
the 3-prong plug on the end of the motor power cord
into the socket connector on the shorter power cord
on the dial control. With motor fwd/off/rev switch in
the “off” position and the dial indicator arrow also
in the “off” position on the control, plug the
3-prong plug on the longer power cord from
the dial control into a proper 3-wire outlet (see page
3). Holding the handpiece in your hand, put the
motor fwd/off/rev switch in the desired “on”
position, begin with a light touch, start out
slowly and gradually increase the speed.
Finding the right speed for any specific
task is a matter of experimentation
and experience.
