Switch Assembly 651872-2

This switch that has forward/reverse capability and two wire leads to connect to your tool. This is a genuine Makita replacement part that is sold individually. Switches are commonly replaced parts in power tools, handling all on/off and variable speed operations. They also have a role in electric breaking; they can momentarily reverse electrical polarity. Because switches use mechanical internals, they will degrade and wear out over time, eventually needing replacement. Some common signs of a broken or failing switch are: • The tool has stopped functioning - it refuses to start. • The tool operates intermittently, requiring multiple tries to turn on, until eventually it won't start at all.
