This is a Rocker type switch that has internal terminals. This is a genuine Makita replacement part that is sold individually. rnrnSwitches are commonly replaced parts in tools. A switch handles 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 needing replacement. Some common signs of a broken or failing switch are as follows:rn • The tool has completely stopped functioning - it will not start. rn • The tool operates intermittently, requiring multiple tries to turn on, until eventually it won't start at all.rn • The variable speed function and electric braking aren't working properly.

Exact replacement part . Didn’t have to make due with a one size fits all part.
Thought my sander was too old to get parts for. eReplacement Parts had the part I needed in stock, and I got it in two days. Very pleased with the process.

Sorry, we couldn't find any existing installation instruction that matched.
I removed all the screw\'s from the outer body and the four screws to the bottom vibrating plate and then I was able to separate the body to expose the inside of the electrical motor then very carefully I removed the switch and installed the new one and reassembled the sander. I also replaced the dust bag.
Removed screws to split housing, removed pad first. Removed armature then bearings. Reverse process to assemble. Replaced switch as well. Left brushes as they were fine. Simple. Less than an hour. Went just fine. Works like new.
Basically the sanding disc needs to be pulled before you can take the housing apart. Once the sanding disc is removed pull the 4 screws and separate the housing enough to get to the trigger then just switch out the wires and put everything back together in reverse. Don`t forget to blow it out first, lots of saw dust you don`t think about

After many years of service, the on/off switch failed
Ryobi - remove screws holding bottom plate and replace bearing and dust shield.
Makita - remove screws holding bottom plate. Important - remove screw on each side of plastic piece that centers the motor. Remove the 4 screws that hold the two housing halves together. Unscrew switch terminals to remove wires and insert wires
... Read more into new switch. On mine, I had to repair the insulation on one of the wires pinched by the housing. If you need to replace the brushes, this would be a good time. Reassemble.
Split the sander apart by removing the screws, made a minor modification to the switch by drilling two holes in the bottom to accommodate the wires (the switch received was for a newer model with different attachment points) which were not long enough to attach to the switch. Installed the switch and reassembled the sander with the new br
