Product Description

?

This is a genuine manufacturer sourced replacement part. It is specially designed for Milwaukee band saws. Switch handles on/off and variable speed functions of the tool. Because switches have mechanical internal components, over time they will wear out and begin breaking down requiring replacement. Please note this plastic switch is sold separately. Replacing a switch is a quick and easy repair. You should only need a screwdriver. • First make sure the tool is unplugged • Separate housing by removing screws • Disconnect wires from the switch • Remove old switch and secure new one • Reconnect wires to the switch • Reassemble and test the saw
