This is an authentic manufacturer sourced replacement part used on Makita sanders/polishers. Switch is an important part of the tool which handles on/off operations. Because switches use mechanical internals, they will tend to wear out over time, eventually requiring replacement. It 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

Easy Repair
This is an older Makita variable speed buffer. Still works great, but the trigger switch went bad. The replacement was easy to order and easy to install.
