This is an authentic manufacturer approved replacement switch used on DeWALT drills. It is the part of the tool handling on/off and variable speed functions. Since switches have moving mechanical parts, they will eventually wear out and will require a replacement. Switch has a plastic body and it is sold individually. To replace this switch you would need a screwdriver. • Remove screws used to hold two pieces of housing set together • Disconnect wires from the old switch and remove it from the housing • Place the new switch in the housing and connect wires to it • Reassemble the housing
