Hi folks,
Not sure if this is in the right place, if not I'm sure some nice mod will move it!
I'm wanting to be able to reverse my pillar drill motor without having to dismantle the motor each time by using a rotary switch (on-off-on jobbie).
Basically the motor has 4 terminals inside the cover, one for live labelled A2, one for neutral labelled A1, the other two aren't used Labelled T2 and T3. From these terminals there are two wires that I think go to the run coil on the motor Red from A2 and Black from A1, a Yellow wire is soldered to the pcb on a pin that the inertia switch is connected to which makes a circuit via a brass plate connected to the bottom of A2, and a Blue wire thats soldered to the bottom of A1.
I think I'm right in thinking i need to swap via the rotary switch the yellow and blue wires, which I assume are for the start coil so if I have it in forwards they're as they are now, but once stopped if I flick it to reverse it should be Yellow to Blue and vice verse.
Don't know if it's worth mentioning there's no cap in this motor?
Am I right in my thinking. or way off?
Here's pics of the underside and top of the pcb and the motor coils.
