Be sure to follow the grounding
instructions on page 3 of this
manual while attaching the
speed control to a power outlet.
Please note that the power cord
on a foot or dial speed control,
and NOT the motor power cord,
plugs into an electrical outlet.

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.

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 come with a safety
clip (see page 15). If an "open hook" is used be
sure to secure the motor to it with wire or
heavy tape.
