This is a Trigger switch that has 4 internal terminals. This authentic DeWalt replacement part is sold individually. Switches are commonly replaced parts in power tools, handling all on/off and variable speed operations. 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 will not start when you use the switch, or it requires multiple tries to turn on, until eventually it refuses to start at all. • The variable speed function and electric braking aren't working properly.

2. Disconnected wiring that ran through old handle;
3. Disconnected wiring to old switch;
4. Ran wiring through new switch;
5. Reconnected wiring to new switch hooking it up in same configuration as old switch;
6. In attaching new handle I found out that the casting
... Read more on saw prevented holes of handle to line up properly;
7. Using dremel tool I cut a slot in the new handle to allow casting the clearance needed for holes to line up;
8. Once holes lined up, I mounted the handle;
9. When I tested the switch, it came on when plugged in;
10. Had to remove new handle and change polarity on switch;
11. Tested switch before reattaching new handle;

3 Removed switch and disconnected the 2 wires at the switch.
4 Connected the wires to the new switch
