ok so I got my hardwire kit.

now what wire goes where?  I would say black would go to copper and the white goes to more brass colored contact but?

anybody?

Makes no difference which wire goes where. Alternating current. The wires switch polarity 60 times a second.

ok I will close my eye and just let fate take it's course i guess.  I know next to nothing about electric motors.  other than this is the first one I have ever seen where it did not make any difference which one was hooked up where? 

sorry I find it strange and hard to believe, or maybe I'm not getting the joke?

Yes, you should totally believe me, because I'm a random guy on the internet and everything that's on the internet is true.

That's the law.

Nah, just kidin'. As I was in my post above of course, you saw right through me.

On another note, are you sure you should do this yourself? You admit you have not a clue what you are doing. You obviously don't seem to know what alternating current is. Do you know that doing things wrong could not only damage your tool, but also damage YOU, or anybody else using the tool? And with damage I mean, KAPUTT, totally kaputt, like not doing anything anymore afterwards? Never, ever?

I would say "black to brass" but I am not sure that the tool follows the same rules as an electrical outlet.

Contact Festool support to get the right answer...
