Genuine manufacturer approved replacement switch used on Hitachi compound miter saws. It is the part of the tool handling on/off operations. 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 and a hex key/allen wrench.
• 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

switch replacement for Hitachi SAW
The part was an exact match for my Hitachi Miter Saw and arrived in just a few days. I installed it and my saw is back in working order thanks to REplacement Parts having exactly what I needed.

Wrong part number
I ordered switch 375115 according to your schematic. The switch I got was about half that size. When I called your company I was told that the part number
was changed. And your company did not have that switch. Part number is 324998 was given to me by customer service. That person was very helpful. Customer service gave me a number I could call and get the correct switch. All is taken care of.
Thank you

Not the correct part for my saw
As usual when ordering parts on line it has the correct numbers, looks correct but when you get it in your hands it immediately becomes apparent is not the correct one. Needing it right away, required me to disassemble the old one and the new one, and by combining parts from the old, removing unnecessary components from the new one was able to make a working replacement switch so I could complete my order on time.

Unplug the saw, of course.
You will need to remove the screws on the handle, side cover and side plate to open get at the switch in the handle. I used a magnetic cup to hold all of the screws and put them together for each of the parts removed. The handle opens up and you will need the needle nosed pliers to pull the connectors off the switch. TAKE A PICTURE of the wires in the switch before pulling them off. This makes it super easy to push the wires onto the new switch.
Once the switch is connected and reseated, arrange the wires to allow for reassembly. Push the handle back together and fit into place and screw the handle together. Next screw the top down through the handle to hold it to the top of the saw (hex screws). Finally put the side places together. There are machine screws and regular screws, make sure you remember which go where. I marked the machine screw holes with a sharpie so I would find them.
Very easy.

I had to split the new and old switches in half. I cleaned the trigger contacts on the old switch and snapped that half onto the new switch plugged half. This was because the original switch is no longer available. The replacement switch has a different trigger and a lock button. The removal and reinstall process is pretty straight forward.

The trigger switch would occasionally stick, causing the saw to continue running after the switch was released.

Removed screws until I could get at the switch, swapped out the wires and put it back together. Easy fix. You'll need a torx bit for some screws.
