Like you said, the switch changes direction of current, apparently to pick up and drop things off, and the current (or speed) is reduced in one direction. The ground symbol seems confusing at first, but it is most likely just a grounding connection for the metallic casing or the instrument/tool itself, to prevent either shock or leakage currents flowing from the gripper. | |
