Saw works perfect.
I already had removed my old parts while waiting for my new parts to arrive. There are 2 screws on the switch and 2 for the cord. Both parts were installed within 15 minutes. My favorite saw is new again.
Remove screws in saw handle ,cord restraint, and last screws in switch. Remove screws from motor leads. I had to obtain terminal ends for the cord before proceeding. After reattaching motor leads and cord with new cord guard it was an easy job to reassemble switch and cord into saw handle.

2. Disconnected and removed the old faulty switch.
3. Connected the wires to the new switch.
