Product Information
Description:
This Rocker switch has 2 terminals and a compact design for easy installation. This genuine DeWalt replacement part is sold individually.

rnrnSwitches 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:rn
  • The tool has completely stopped functioning – it will not turn on.rn
  • The tool operates intermittently, requiring multiple tries to turn on, until eventually it won’t turn on at all.rn
  • The variable speed function and electric braking aren’t working properly.

    On/off was intermittent. While troubleshooting it, I shorted out the control board and damaged it.
    1. Unplug from wall.
    2. Remove screws from the top cover.
    3. Remove 2 wires from on/off connector.
    4. Remove 2 wires going into the motor. These wires have spades crimped onto the ends, and they slide into the connector which is permanently attached to the motor.
    5. Replace control board.
    6. Reconnect on/off switch.
    7. Set top cover on, being careful to route the wires in the molded channels. Do not pinch the wires with the top cover.
    8. Plug into outlet, test the sander.
    9. If all is well, reinstall screws on the top cover.
