Thoughts on a motor

[Daniel Macina]

There should be a lug inside the motor for the ground there will not be a wire. All the ground will do is take your bare or Green wire and ground it to the metal case of the motor. If there is not a ground lug inside the wire compartment you should be able to attach the wire from your cord to the compartmant screws. Just get a crimp on terminal of the appropriate size.

I am confused about what you are saying? Yes there is a ground lug but I thought there had to be a wire to put the lug over to ground everything. I do not see a ground wire that would go on the lug.

You attach your Green(or Bare) wire from your source (power in) to the lug.

No worries, glad to help. Better to ask than get hurt or worse hurt someone else! Making knives is dangerous enough with all the equipment we use no need taking unnecessary chances!
