Genuine OEM Replacement Part used on some Makita Saws. This part is Sold Individually. A switch handles the 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 will degrade and wear out over time, eventually requiring replacement.
Sorry, we couldn't find any existing reviews that matched. Try using some different or simpler keywords.
