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
