Default Belt sander: Smoke escape!

Hi Roy and others,

Thanks for the replies, but I had already checked HF's manual. I
mentioned the NO cap-can as this is not a cap start motor. The switch
HF shows is a simple two wire thing that I could easily manage to
fudge around.

I have uploaded the pic to the drop box and you can see the switch has
4 connectors to integrate the coil thing into the circuit.

The main lead at the bottom is the power lead coming in and the Blue,
Brown, Black and Ground lead goes to the motor.

The top two terminals on the switch (Red and Black) are bolted to the
switch body so I assume they are carrying big current, the bottom two
(White and Black) are riveted.

Unless I can get some other information I will assume that the Black/
Black make contact and the White/Red but can't be sure as the switch
is fried totally.

Dave
