Product Description
?This Trigger switch has 4 internal terminals. This authentic Milwaukee replacement part is sold individually. rnrnSwitches are commonly replaced parts in power tools. A switch handles all 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 tend to degrade and wear out over time, eventually requiring replacement. Some common signs of a broken or failing switch are:rn • The tool will not start when you use the switch, or it requires multiple tries to turn on, until eventually it refuses to start at all.rn • The variable speed function and electric braking aren't working properly.

Be careful not to mix up wire connections obviously
There was an extra wire that went to the directional switch,so i just hooked it to a hot wire
I used round terminals to finish the connections because those screws were tiny.
Overall it was an easy repair.
MAKE CERTAIN you put the screws ... Read more in and snug them as soon as you open the package .
it is a contact switch and there are small copper part that are loose inside the switch they fell out when I took the switch apart.
Turns out you don\'t have to take the switch apart but that is how the old switch went together
hope that helps someone
