Easy fix
The part, though pricey, arrived quickly and was installed easily. The purchase probably merits a five star review, however, because of the cost involved I rated it a four.

Time

Tools Used
Screwdriver, Power Drill
Parts Used
1. Remove the jointer attachment. (Follow manual instructions.)
2. Remove the plastic side housing on the jointer side of the machine: Remove the screws,
then lift the housing slightly up and away, freeing the bottom of the housing from the
grooves that capture its bottom edger in the top of the machine base.
(It may be worthwhile to mark these and other screws to be removed in this process with
numbers on tape, corresponding to marks made at the locations from which they came,
as a variety of similar looking screws of slightly different types and lengths are involved;
most will only fit in one location.)
3. Remove the housing elements surrounding the switch. Keep track of which screw went
where. Note the orientation of the On/Off switch with respect to the two leads that
connect it.
4. Release the side tabs that hold the switch tightly to the flat plate through which it is
inserted, and remove the switch.
5. Insert the new switch though the hole in the plate you just removed, engaging the side
tabs.
6. Connect the leads on the switch to those corresponding on the ends of the cables.
7. Try the switch to confirm the motor will start.
8. In reverse order, reattach all the housing elements you removed to access the switch.
9. Re-install jointer per manual instructions.

Tools Used

Parts Used
Hitachi F1000A: BE SURE YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD!!! 1. Remove 4 phillips head screws that hold switch housing, 2. Remove at least one phillips head that holds cord in place at base of planer--release cord from hold-down, 3. Remove phillips head screw that holds ground wire inside switch housing,
4. Cut black and yellow wires away from switch, 5. Remove entire switch housing, 6. Remove switch from housing by pressing pop-up plastic bands, 7. Connect stranded wire (black and white (if you don't have yellow) and solder to the new switch and slip heat shrink tubing over soldered switch terminals (gives you room to make motor and feed wire connections), 8. Run wires through switch housing and press new switch into place, 9. Insert heat shrink tubing over wires and solder black and white stranded wires to motor and lead wires respectively, 10. Heat shrink all tubing to cover solder joints, 11. Replace ground screw and switch housing, 12. Replace cord hold-down screw at base of planer, 13. Test switch... NOTE: Consider using a heat sink on the switch terminals when soldering the extension wires---a pair of needle nose vice grips works.
That will prevent the plastic on the switch from overheating when soldering.

Become familiar with the removal process for the joiner and the plastic housing near the switch location. These items will have to be removed prior to the switch removal and re-installation.
