    He's asking which connection is the + and which is the -.

    Hmmm so the Bishop is unidirectional???

    Like on a car battery you have black is negative (-) and red is positive (+). If you dont have red and black remember black is always negative.

    + or - the black or the red on your clipcord. This will dictate if your motor will run clockwise or counter clockwise. Depending on the machine's drive system and the motor its self will dictate which direction it should go. Some motors will come with the polarity marked on them usually with a very tiny red dot on one of the power connections.

    The Bishop has a built in diode which is a two-terminal electronic component that conducts electric current in only one direction. thus when you plug in your clipcord, it only functions one way.
