Thank you. A few questions:
How can I find out what the motor windings are currently configured at? The deadman pedal is rated for 125 to 250 VAC so would that indicate it's set for 208-230V?
And I think I figured something out. Here's a pic again for the box that connects the deadman pedal to the buffer. I was told the buffer will only work when the pedal is pressed. It will rip your arms off otherwise if a sleeve or something gets caught.
The top of this box where a conduit elbow screws in there are 3 screws that are loose and scratch marks in the dust. this must be where power goes in. So I think there is only the one mystery wire that is clipped.
