    Need help wiring up a Crusader M control

    I recently purchased this machine for my home shop. I have an operators manual, but no documentation on how to hook up the power. It appears that the wires go directly into a relay. I'm tempted to to just hook up the black, white, and red wires to there counterparts on the opposite side of the relay, but if I could get some help, I would feel a lot better when I hit the breaker for the first time. I bought this machine with an inoperative control, and a simple inspection of the electrical cabinet reveled a few blown fuses, and that sweet smell of fried wiring, so I don't think I could screw it up any worse. If someone has any documentation/wiring diagrams for this machine, I would gladly reimburse for any cost in getting this information.
    Thanks

    that is a three phase relay, not a 220. What is the machine?

    The machine is an Eagle, it looks like many other Taiwanese knee mill clones. It does have 220 on the cover of the box for the relay. I do have 220 3phs in my shop. There are two things that have me spooked, first most machines I've dealt with usually have some type of wiring diagram/sticker where the power goes in, and second, I've never wired power directly into a relay. Now I am NOT an electrician, and the CNC's where I've worked are large expensive machines, and they would not let a hack like me near one with a screwdriver, so I am out of my element. I'm hoping someone out there has a bit more experience with electrical matters, and and give me a bit of guidance.
