Connecting Foot or Manual Speed Control

The electrical specifications for your power tool are listed on the motor nameplate. It will show

the proper voltage and currents to use with your power tool. Be sure to follow the grounding

instructions on page 2 of this manual while attaching either the speed control or motor to a

power outlet.

The 115 Volt, 50/60 cycle (Hz) L and LM Motors can be used with the models SCT-1 and FCT-1

foot controls on 115 Volt AC current only. The 230 Volt, 50/60 cycle (Hz) motors can be used

with the models SCT-2 and FCT-2 foot controls

on 230 Volt AC current only.

Connect the foot 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 foot control. With

the motor on/off switch in the “off ” position,

plug the 3-prong plug on the longer power cord

from the foot control into a proper 3-wire power

outlet (see page 2). Make sure that you are

holding the handpiece securely in hand, put the

motor on/off switch in the “on” position so that

your power tool is ready for operation.

The L and LM Motors can also be used with the

EM-1 (115 volt) or EM-2 (230 Volt) manual 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 on the

manual control. With motor on/off 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

manual control into a proper 3-wire outlet (see

page 2). Making sure that you are holding the

handpiece securely in hand, put the motor

on/off switch in the “on” position so that your

power tool is ready for operation.
