I have a wood turning lathe with an AC induction motor. It has a reversing switch that I believe has gone bad. I am attaching the schematic from the control box that I can't figure our. help would be appreciated with the symbols.image.jpg

It looks like one of the famous Chinese switches, the square box to the left of OUT is usually the way a coil is represented, the switch to the left of the coil is a manually operated switch or E-stop and the K is a manual operator for the relay, often on these machines the relay armature is pushed manually and then a retaining contact keeps it on.
Many of these prints vary to some degree, there does not seem to be a standard unfortunately.
If they have used wire numbers, you could trace them to confirm.
