Hi all,
I just bough a buffer to polish some aluminum pieces I'm making (obligatory metal content), and I'd like to mount it upside down. In order to do this and be able to get to the on/off switch, I need to wire it so that it runs "backwards" or in the opposite direction from how it runs now. In pulling the base plate off, a large cap is evident. I know embarrassingly little about electrical stuff and I'm wondering how to rewire the buffer.
Can I flop the power leads to the switch (the cap and the motor connect to the other side of the switch) so that both the motor and the cap have reverse polarity, or do I need to reverse the polarity only to the motor and not to the cap? Or?
Thanks muchly,
Peter
