Product Information
Description:
This Trigger type VAR switch has 4 internal terminals and a locking mechanism. This genuine Makita replacement part is sold individually.

Switches are commonly replaced parts in power tools. A switch handles on/off and variable speed functions. 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 requiring replacement. Some common signs of a broken or failing switch are:
• The tool has completely stopped functioning
• it will not turn on.
• The tool operates intermittently, requiring multiple tries to turn on, until eventually it won’t turn on at all.
• The variable speed function and electric braking aren’t working properly.

Tools Used:
Screwdriver, Pliers, sandpaper and file
Trigger switch broke.
The new switch would not fit in the handle because of the push button speed lock. All one has to do is cut down the button head with a file or small grinder and sand the edges. Button does not stick through as far as the old one but it is usable non the less. I never use the lock anyway. Works great.

Remove the old style handle cover. Make a wiring diagram. Remove the cord wires from the switch and remove the other wires from the switch and remove it. Install the wires on the new switch, then place the dust cover on the switch. Place the switch in its place , then screw on the switch handle half.

    Exact part needed for repair
    Turn around time from ordering to receiving EXCELLENT! Couldn't be more pleased!

    Switch fit perfectly (you need to buy the new side section if you have an older drill)
    I installed the switch and it works great. Haven't used it much at all but initially it is fine. Just FYI, you need to buy the new side section if you have an older drill. The older drill model has a smaller trigger lock button hole. The new switch has a larger lock button. You could open up the hole more but for the price, the new part is worth it.

    Older Makita 6510LVR
    Good price, prompt delivery. The only complaint is I had to remove the trigger lock because the diameter is larger than the hole in my casing.
