Reverse motor rotation

[johnmh]

I have a 3/4 HP motor running 120 volts for a jointer. I've replaced the switch because it was wearing out, but now the motor rotates the wrong direction. On the old switch, I could just reverse the income power wires to reverse the rotation but that doesn't seem to work with the new switch.

Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks!

Never mind - I figured it out (by reading the plate on the motor!)

Well done!

We've all done it. "When all else fails, read the instructions." That is, if the print is big enough to read.
