Hi Vince, (ascii art) 

If using the variac for voltage control: 
Ignore terminals 1, 5, 6, 7 

(line common)--------- 2 --------------(xfmr common) 

                       3 --------------(xfmr hot) 

(line hot)------------ 4 
(ground)-------------- Case 

Note, you could use 4 for common and 2 for line hot. 
This simply reverses knob direction for min to max. 

Safety tip: mount a plate over the connector plate to prevent accidents (such
as bumping into the variac) or mount variac in a control box. 

Take care, 
Bart
